At 33, Daniel Burman already has five feature films to his name and he was a co-producer of the much-acclaimed "Motorcycle Diaries."
He released his first film at the age of 20, but "Lost Embrace" is the work where his talents really came into their own.
"I'm pretty happy with the outcome," says Burman who, like the protagonist Ariel, grew up in the Jewish community in Buenos Aires. "Right now, the filmmaking climate in Argentina is probably at its best in many years. More than 50 films are made per year and the government subsidizes production costs. I'm thankful to be working there at this time. Before, it was a tough job for directors to get anything made."
