'Aficionados' is an experimental film that emerges of a collective creation, from the construction of characters. With a screenplay with no dialogues and without treatment, the actors improvised during the recording days. It was shot in the homes and workplaces of the actors, with sequence shots and handheld camera, and was edited by selecting fragments from different takes, in a sort of elliptical edition.
The inspiring true story of Richard Montañez, the Frito Lay janitor who channeled his Mexican American heritage and upbringing to turn the iconic Flamin' Hot Cheetos into a snack that disrupted the food industry and became a global pop culture phenomenon.
