“I uploaded (Panic Attack!) on a Thursday and on Monday my inbox was totally full of e-mails from Hollywood studios,” Alveraz told the BBC’s Latin American service BBC Mundo.
Alvarez’s short film has received 1.5 million views since it was posted on YouTube in November. The movie Alveraz has been asked to produce a science fiction film, which is to be shot in Uruguay and Argentina, and will require some original story development from the new producer. The movie is being sponsored by the Spiderman films director Sam Raimi.
“If some director from some country can achieve this just uploading a video to YouTube, it obviously means that anyone could do it,” says Alveraz.
