This feature film had a budget of less than 6,000 euros (of which almost 4,500 have been allocated to the payment of taxes and administrative procedures). Its screenwriter, director and producer, David Sousa Moreau, has achieved the surprising feat of making a film budgeted at more than 3 million euros.

The collaboration of more than thirty brands and hundreds of fans of the seventh art has made this fast-paced 98-minute action thriller possible, which has featured more than 80 locations, 50 international actors, almost 130 extras, dialogues in more than 10 languages, around 200 replicas of weapons, dozens of American special vehicles and with the collaboration of artists from the USA, Ukraine and France.

Gorka Otxoa adds that "it is the cinematographic equivalent of Spain winning a World Cup, or Nadal winning the Roland Garros. It is something that we can be proud of, both the team itself and all Spaniards."

The actors have done a job that is totally different from the records in which we have seen them until now. They have also opted for the originality of the script, participating as partners and drivers of the project. “I got involved in the project because I think it is a necessary film, that the world has to see,” Gorka Otxoa confesses.

Reevolution, probably the most ambitious film in national independent cinema, has now set out to break a new record: to become the most profitable Spanish feature film.
They are goal is to raise 120,000 euros, thus obtaining the highest return on investment achieved so far in Spain.

“It would be a new path of hope for future generations of filmmakers who, despite having talent and great stories, are not fortunate enough to have the support of major productions,” acknowledges the director.

Actor Leo Rivera adds that it is "time to support Reevolution and help us spread this necessary message. It is up to each of us to make people believe again that the world can be changed."
