Lazaro and the Shark: Director Interview

William Sabourin O’Reilly found inspiration in a celebration of culture against adversity in Cuba, and has developed that into the story of a man competing with an officer in support of “the revolution.” “Lazaro and The Shark- Cuba Under the Surface,” is a powerful, careful documentary/story.

In this interview, Mr. O’Reilly explores how he found his characters and how the making of this movie reflects the cinematic, artful nature of Conga as an expression that brings freedom to its’ subjects.
