Oriol Maymó, a production manager from Barcelona, shares insights into the creation of the acclaimed film 'Sirât,' which has received considerable recognition in the film industry, including 11 Goya nominations and two Oscar nominations. Maymó emphasizes that the role of a production manager begins long before filming starts—often a year in advance—and continues through the filming process. His commitment to the film has been ongoing even after its release last June, reflecting the dedication of the entire team behind 'Sirât.'

Maymó notes the film's unique position in the landscape of cinema, stating that while it is currently considered 'mainstream,' it will ultimately be remembered as a 'different' kind of film. This distinction is critical as it reflects the intention of the filmmakers to push boundaries and create a work that resonates on deeper levels than typical mainstream cinema. The film's success is further highlighted by accolades it has received, including the Jury Prize at Cannes and the best foreign language film award at the Gaudí Awards.

He also discusses the challenges faced in gaining acceptance from technicians for this ambitious project. Drawing upon his existing relationships with many skilled professionals in the industry, he expresses confidence in their ability to take on the challenge. This collaboration ultimately contributed to the film's success and reinforced the idea that ambitious projects can thrive when a dedicated and skilled team comes together to realize a shared vision.
