PLAZA de TOROS is a metaphor for modern urban living. A ‘road’ movie where Joel finds his way around an exhausted city.

Joel and Margaret met in Toronto. Joel is from Mexico and Margaret from London. They first worked together in Caracas, Venezuela. In 2006 they met again in Birmingham, England. They decided to make a short film there, in and around the ‘Bullring’.

Compared with the car and the architecture of contemporary road systems we are small and vulnerable, but Joel takes the bull by the horns and with grace and imagination is masterful over the urban sprawl.

Shot on HDVCam, the project was completed in January 2007.
