Dolly

Dolly

David Pinillos
Having earned a scholarship to study in California next year, the 22-year-old Dani is aching to confess his love to his best friend’s girlfriend. After the inevitable farewell party, a stroll through the park ends up being his last chance to do so. Now or never. Those 15 minutes fill up with lulls, looks, recollections, meaningless answers, but… the truth? Is a quarter hour enough time to make it to the truth?
Debuts in the direction with Bon appétit, after having written and directed the short film Dolly, also produced by Morena Films. Until then, David has accumulated extensive experience as an editor, a task that continues to exert. Precisely the direction of Bon appétit has earned him to win the Goya Award in the category of Best New Director on 13/02/2011, at the 25th edition of the awards. Some of the films in which he has participated are Gordos of Daniel Sánchez Arévalo, which earned him a nomination for the Goya for Best Editing in the latest edition of the Academy Awards, La vergüenza by David Planell, Sexykiller by Miguel Martí, 8 Citas by Rodrigo Sorogoyen and Peris Romano, Películas para no dormir: La habitación del niño of Alex de la Iglesia or El juego de la verdad of Álvaro Fernández Armero.
