“When I asked the access Enrique (Bunbury) I did not say ‘Give us money to shoot the documentary “filmmaker was sincere,” we simply said’ let us record and then we’ll see what we do with the material. ‘ “

The new plans
The Spanish filmmaker is developing a fiction project, but does not rule out return to musical documentary genre, specifically the rockumentary, which says she is deeply in love.
“I would love to find an artist of the same size as Bunbury and has very good story for another (documentary),” said Morantes.
