Alejandro Lora Gambled All on Art and Low Budget Cinema - Las Tunas-born audiovisual maker is finishing his first full-length film, Los Cuervos, based on the novel of the same name written by Guillermo Vidal.

He arrived in Cuba on a warm July afternoon, in 2006. He was dressed in a pair of jeans and a blue t-shirt and cheap shoes. His luggage consisted of a few clothes and the bulkiest: a video camera, a tripod and a computer with all the hardware necessary to make videos.

Many people thought that his money was hidden, others thought he has put it in the bank. Nobody thought that after nine months working on a cultural project in Venezuela, Cuban audiovisual maker Alejandro Lora Ramos came back to Cuba with only eight dollars in his pocket, because all he had earned was spent on equipment to do his work.”*
