Little White Lie La mentirita blanca

A black comedy about a journalist on a local newspaper who starts fabricating stories for fear of losing his job, Little White Lie is a witty debut feature by young Chilean filmmaker Tomás Alzamora.

festivals, awards Miami 2017 (Jordan Ressler Screenwriting Award)

Edgardo is a journalist struggling to maintain a career in a small Chilean town, always on the lookout for exclusive news stories. Worrying that the newspaper is on the verge of closing down because of declining readership, he fabricates a story, a little white lie, which turns into a very big deal, transforming him into a hugely popular local celebrity. Should our humble hero confess his peccadillo or sacrifice his professional (and personal) integrity at the altar of fame?

"I’m a musician. I wanted to make video clips but had no one for help. So, I did it myself. It was my first experience in cinema. Then I made my first short film in France while I couldn't make it in Chile. Nobody has camera there. I made Little White Lie in my town. Why it is about journalism? I have a good friend who is a journalist and he had a similar problem. He published fake news. It was a great idea. I researched all fake news in the country before writing the script." (Tomás Alzamora)
