"Take four." "Action." "Action!" "You are back, what a miracle!" "Remember? "What a beautiful promise!"" "Welcome!" "Dear friends... sometimes we feel that we are doing everything wrong... that there is no easy solution for the problems we have." "But when our problems are finally solved... we think an angel came from heaven... and just fixed everything magically." "Well, it's true." "We all have a guardian angel." "That's "My Little Angel."" "I am an angel." "Maria de las Estrellas!" "What does it feel like to have a mother and father?" "They were stealing God's money." "What are you doing here?" "Oh, my God!" "Who opened the window?" "I am sick." "Confinement makes you sick!" "Don't you see there's no air in here?" "Please, close that window!" " I can't..." " Sure you can!" "Give it to her!" "I am an angel." "I believe you." "That is why I need you to come home." "Get me a star" "Bring it here" "I want to feel its beautiful light" "Inside my heart" "Promised!" "You are under arrest!" "Arrested in Heaven?" "No!" "Disobeying the rules, how cheeky!" "How does the defendant plead?" "Answer!" "What am I being accused of?" "This is your house, isn't it?" "Father!" "You have been really spoiled, haven't you?" "You know what?" "If you go on like this, you'll be back at the orphanage very soon!" "Why are you in the rain?" "How will the Earth be" "The world created by God" "How will the Earth be" "Where love was born" "I am Daniela Luján... and I am very happy and excited to be part of Angelito mio." "Stay with me." "In the next half-hour, I am going to tell you... how this film was made and some other interesting things." "You will experience the magic of filmmaking... while watching The Making of Angelito mio." "How do you make an angel?" "We all know angels live in heaven." "So what is an angel doing on Earth?" "What is she looking for?" "Angelito mio is a story that will take you to heaven." "The story found its sources of inspiration... in other cinematographic products... like the book Princess... and even The Wizard of Oz." "It combines different elements." "It plays with fantasy and reality." "The film addresses mainly children and teenagers... but it also speaks to the little kid living in each adult." "Therefore the film creates its own language." "That's the language of this film... and actually it is a farce." "It's a musical farce... pretty much fabled... and very amusing." "This is the story of a young girl... who is really..." "I won't tell everything..." "She is an angel... down here on Earth..." "looking for those things... that render men, children and all humans... reasonable, in good times and bad times." "Children usually ponder these ideals." "We were blessed with a miracle." "A new light... reached this house, a gleam of hope... and that was the miracle." "That was the miracle... conveying the message of this film." "I wanted this film to be like a roller-coaster of emotions... that would make people laugh and cry... and feel the thrill... of all the ups and downs." "I think we have accomplished that." "Those were our intentions." "I found the fact of humanizing God very interesting... as well as the little girl, who is an angel... on Earth." "They are common people, very human and quite straightforward." "They are affectionate and realistic at the same time." "It's very interesting, for God is always seen on the level of divinity." "This is an original point of view." "At first, it was a little angel... inspired by the idea of a guardian angel... which is a myth for all children." "They have it in their prayers, so Angelito mio finds it sources there... in the prayer where at the end they say, "My little angel..." ""pray to God for me." So that's where the idea comes from." "The little angel coming down on Earth... was finally conceived as a mission." "Sometimes we don't notice when we have a little angel by us." "That angel can change many things around him." "That's what I did, what Maria de las Estrellas did." "She gave them a second chance... both on Earth and in Heaven, thanks to the kindness of her heart." "I had found prestigious performers... basically from TV programs... which is the case for Daniela Luján..." "Leticia Calderón... and Lucho Bonavides... who are all three well-known actors... who have worked in Mexican soap operas." "The same happened with two Puerto Ricans, namely Jacobo Morales... a very well-known actor and filmmaker... and Braulio Castillo, an actor who performed in many soap operas... as well as in many films." "My character... is very earthly... and very real." "He is the man... who adopts this little girl from an orphanage... hoping that she will bring them some joy, since they cannot have children." "Milagros is a young woman... who has been married for some years now." "She is quite rich." "They have a lot of money." "Her husband is a handsome man and he loves her." "So, at first sight, life is a bed of roses... for Milagros." "But all her money wouldn't buy what she wants the most." "That is, to conceive." "God..." "I play him in a very amicable, informal way, like a friend or a brother." "I humanize Him as much as possible... to better convey His doctrine." "And that is the reason why..." "I feel this approach is coherent... with the idea of God I always had." "San Wichón is a character who undergoes... a positive transformation over the course of the film." "This transformation is part of God's plans." "As we say in the film, "Our lives, our fate..." ""it's God who planned them for us."" "Isn't it spectacular?" "Well, there is more." "Next, we'll see where the idea for this film comes from." "All angels have wings." "That's a distinctive feature of this film, Angelito mio." "But how do they design them?" "How do they make them?" "And how should they look on screen?" "Let's see it." "We started by working..." "Lizzie Guello" " Art Director with specific... styles... since they were good references to achieve a surrealistic image." "That's what the farce allowed us to do." "To introduce surrealistic elements." "What we actually did here... is a structure made of rods... so that it could bear the weight of one or two kids." "We drew the plans, we built it... and now we are giving it the final touches... and covering it with fabric." "See?" "We already finished this piece." "We have to do the sunshade... which appears later in the film... and it will have some decorative features... that will give it a surrealistic look." "As for the structure... we split the film into different sections." "At the beginning, we are in Heaven... then we see the orphanage, then a house... and finally we are back in Heaven." "They gave me a very sketchy, simple outline... of what they wanted." "Just the essence." "So based on that essence and the technical specifications... we developed the general concept." "We found what they wanted." "The art department was just great." "They had sculptors, craftsmen, painters and artists from everywhere." "It was amazing." "I could say the same about the set-dressing team... and many other people who helped... with all these things." "And at the same time they were building... that Heaven, which finally was so marvelous when we saw it." "Here we are in the superintendent's room." "What should we put?" "This guy is kind of eccentric, he's eclectic." "He's a bit crazy." "So he lives in his own lunacy... with all his phobias... and the feeling he would like to get away but he cannot do it." "So this is his personal collection... of images and idols, which he contemplates when he is alone in his room." "In Heaven... we see... two different periods:" "perfection and disorder." "There are many elements there, like fantastic machines... flying fishes... and they are all part of that disordered heaven." "At the park and in the streets... we see everything... from a kid's point of view." "Everything is very colorful." "We wanted to emphasize... the hugeness... by placing big elements..." "Here we are going to emulate a basement." "We have to cover a hole." "So we made a copy, a duplicate... on a panel... which was taken to the beach... for the actors to look through." "Now, that is going to be edited within the scene where we see them... entering the frame from here to there." "And we are going to place it higher so we can see through the hole." "We will do it with paint, paper and other things." "Cut!" "Some people were just great." "Luis Rojas, for instance." "Everyone knows Luis Rojas." "He is a great Puerto Rican composer and singer... who became famous both here and overseas." "You will see what a magic touch his songs are in this movie!" "In a film like this... the music is very important, as well as the songs... written by Luis Rojas... and the score... composed by Pedro Rivera Toledo, that creates the atmosphere." "He is also very famous." "All this is combined... with the choreography by Miguel Angel Masjuan." "You can't jump there." "You cannot do it in front of the bus." "You have to be behind the bus." "In front of the bus there won't be enough light nor room to perform." "The platforms are easy." "You have to come from where the lizard is... and you'll start from where Ricky is." "So you come and pass behind the bus." "There's not enough light in the shade." "The other side will be better." "And now you will see how this film was made... and everything that happened backstage." "The different sets, the costumes... in short, many things." "This is The Making of Angelito mio." "How do you make an angel?" "What is an angel like?" "What is Heaven like?" "What does God look like?" "We've always pondered those questions." "Now you'll see how these fantasies might come true." "Let's watch it." "As we already know, filmmaking means collective art." "There is another workgroup many people don't see, for they are behind the camera." "I was lucky:" "Jorge Rojas allowed me to recruit this crew." "They excel in their fields." "From the costume designer... to the assistants... from the art director to his helpers... from the electricians... to the machinists and the caterers... all the people working on the set, all that team... provided their effort and talent... to make this film possible." "They are great professionals." "Close in from above!" "Well?" "What happened?" "Second camera!" "Enrique is doing a wonderful job with the actors." "He is a lovely guy." "And because of his persona, you can easily enter his world." "And he can enter yours." "We're going to make some changes that will help us." "We're going to walk away just before they catch you." "Then the vendor comes shouting:" ""Get her!" "She's a thief!"" "And when they get you, you must resist and shout that you're an angel, not a thief." "You are an angel." "They drag you while you're shouting, but suddenly they lose their grip on you... and you run away, looking for someone... to protect you." "Action!" "You must have many dreams in your life." "Action!" "Enrique Pineda and I are good friends." "Since we met... we've developed affinities... and a great working relationship." "We communicate perfectly well." "When we first talked..." "I knew right away what he wanted to tell me... and he understood my visuals." "There is a point, right after the camera movement... where we get another interesting frame." "The angel passes by..." "So bring the camera here." "After that point, the image becomes uninteresting." "Victor lbáñez did the cinematography... and he did a very good job there." "I am in charge of the cinematography." "I create a certain atmosphere... and rewrite the story with images." "To do so, I take into account the director's needs... and the available production resources." "He comes this way." "Then we see the other in the background, coming to us." "The cinematographer is very talented." "The images of this film are beautiful." "You will see for yourselves." "Just go and watch the film and you'll know what I mean." "It's a top-quality image." "It's excellent." "Action!" "We are ready." "Sound!" "As you noticed, film is like magic." "Talent is the magician... and the crew works tirelessly to achieve a great movie." "Stay with me." "There is more magic in The Making of Angelito mio." "How do you make an angel?" "I am Maria de las Estrellas, just an ordinary girl... except that I'm an angel!" "An angel pursuing just one single goal, something that everyone wants:" "Happiness." "Why don't we follow their example... and try to find the one thing we most need?" "To try and find... our little angel." "I think families are going to like this film... for it fulfills very important needs." "We are tired of watching gratuitous violence... and meaningless special effects... that do not encourage at all... the betterment of human beings." "I think this film has some very particular elements... that families are going to like." "And I certainly believe... that children should be considered part of the family... when it comes to entertainment." "It's a simple story that can be easily assimilated... by all children." "It intends to convey a social message... that is addressed to families and children." "It's a very important film... because we are certain that all children... will be deeply touched." "They will laugh, shout and cry." "As well as the parents and the grandparents." "As it is said in the film:" ""All children carry an angel inside."" "Age does not matter." "I feel I am still a child." "So I have my little angel." "I do my mischief every now and then... but I think that deep in our souls we all carry a little angel inside... and we should never let it go." "Thanks to this film, all the international media... and all the film producers will understand... that you don't need sex... nor violence to reach a wide audience." "Working with Jorge was like..." "Sancho and Don Quixote." "He would say, "Don Quixote!" ""Those are not giants, those are windmills."" "But then I understood that with Jorge... you learn that those are not windmills." "They are actually giants." "Jorge has that gift... of always dreaming of feasible things." "So we achieve them, and here is the result." "We are Jorge's angels." "He used to call us "my little angels."" "The moving story of an angel." "The fantasy of a little girl." "I am an angel." "A girl fighting to reestablish order in a chaotic Heaven... and in the world she is about to discover." "What does it feel like to have a mother and father?" "Give it to her!" "Maria de las Estrellas!" "They were stealing God's money." "What are you doing here?" "Who opened the window?" "I am sick!" "Confinement makes you sick!" "Don't you see there's no air in here?" "Arrest her!" "Arrested in Heaven?" "No!" "There is still a little problem... to be solved." "Oh, my God!" "How does the defendant plead?" "Answer!" "Can you answer?" "Promised." "I will find God." "This is your house, isn't it?" "Father!" "You have been really spoiled, haven't you?" "Angelito mio." "Daniela Luján's first performance on film." "With Jacobo Morales." "Leticia Calderón." "Carlos Bonavides." "Braulio Castillo." "Elia Enid Cadilla." "Lidy López." "If hope has fallen from Heaven, someone has to bring it back." "Playing next November at a theater near you." "For God's sake!" "Holy Senators!" "Or should I say "Senator Saints"?" "Can someone tell me why it is so hot in Heaven?" "What a mess!" "Don't miss the film!" "Don't miss the film!" "I will miss you!" "Let's make a bohemian toast!" "Here." "Champagne, for the bohemian toast."
