Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat, have worked extensively together in both television and film. Their first full-length film was the documentary Me President (Yo presidente), a compilation of interviews of various presidents in Argentina’s recent history including Menem, Alfonsín and De la Rua. With The Artist (El Artista) they made their first fiction movie about a male nurse who steals a drawing from one of his patients and try to make a profit from it. Then just one year later, The Man Next Door premiered in Argentina, winning several awards such as the Cinematography Award at the Sundance Film Festival, and Best Film, Director, Best Actor and Best New Actor awards at the Clarin Awards®. The film was also nominated at the Goya® Academy Awards for Best Spanish Language Foreign Film. With their latest film, Honey, I’m going to buy cigarettes and come back in a minute, (Querida Voy a Buscar Cigarrillos y Ahora Vuelvo), they examine the supernatural.
