A few words from the director: “As a first time opera prima director, it is obvious that I would say that this is an important and special project, Love Equation is “very special”. We shot this movie in a very short time, that’s why it became more special to me. At the end of the project we love it more since everyone involved was doing this with a lot of passion. I’m so pleased for having such an extraordinary music composer, Emilio Kauderer because the story couldn’t have been told better without him… Thank you Emilio. I hope this story gets in many hearts and make people think about the sensibilities and weaknesses of human beings… looking for love and finding themselves.” At this moment we are starting submissions to Film Festivals and looking for distribution. www.loveequationmovie.com LOS ANGELES, CA.

04-16-05
2+2=5=1
With harmonious frame composition, subdued tones, delicate
soundtrack, and minimalist special effects, the film style
of 2+2=5=1 leads the audience to focus on the emotional
and psychological intensity of its plot. 2+2+5=1 perfectly symbolizes the often times illogical equation of love. The film exposes the story of four guys lusting after love and one girl who will reveal the truth.
With unanimous acceptance by the audience, 2+2=5=1 was the
One of highlights at the 2005 Sin Fronteras Film Festival in Albuquerque, New Mexico. After this outstanding debut, the Sin Fronteras Collective foresees continuous success to Miguel Mas and “Mas and More Entertainment.”
