3D Video Made in Colombia Screens in UN Pavilion at Shanghai World Expo 
Over 70 million visitors from 195 countries and 50 international organizations take part in Expo 2010 Shanghai
A stereoscopic video to be projected in 3D co-produced by Colombian Brash 3D and Grito Producciones is screening in the United Nations Creative Industries pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo, considered the largest event of its kind in history. "The Ministry of Culture and National Department of Planning (DNP) brought the video to the UN pavilion where it is showing on three of the five screens in the creative industries area. We are honored to be sharing this space with only one other video, from Brazil. I've made several trips to watch the peoples' reactions, and the video certainly gets a reaction. It has been so successful that it will continue to screen until the end of the World Expo," writes the film's executive producer Luis Martinez of Brash 3D from China for LOCATION COLOMBIA. Expo 2010 Shanghai runs from May 1 through October 31, 2010.

 Mono Ghose (right)
We flew to Colombia with very limited resources and finance, we had 5 UK based professionals working for Mavericks Film London who flew to Bogota in late February 2010. We had 9 days of pre-production and casting, 5 days shoot between Bogota and a little village called Tobia, and we then flew immediately back to the UK with an 8 week post production turnaround before the Cannes and London screenings in May/June 2010… The cast and majority of the crew and equipment was Colombian. We had a fantastic relationship with the local cast and crew, all highly professional, efficient and talented. We also got some great actors – some superb natural child actors from Ciudad Bolivar drama workshops and a couple of notable names as the leads, such as Quique Mendoza and Weimar Delgado who were skilful and very committed individuals to work with… We would definitely enjoy coming back to shoot in Colombia again and actually already have a few projects we are developing in London that we hope to film there. Lost Bullets Short Film is just the first step on the exciting journey we have begun and we look forward to what is next in our Colombian story.
