Story.telling: capítulo 2 directed by Fábio Brandão

Story.Telling: Chapter 2 is an independent Brazilian short film that blends comedy, drama, mystery and suspense in an ambitious 31-minute continuous shot. Directed by Fábio Brandão, the film expands the universe introduced in the first Story.Telling, while creating a new story centered on seven young people suddenly removed from their realities and placed inside a mysterious house, where choices can become a matter of life and death.

More than a technical challenge, the one-take format became the heart of the filmmaking process. With no cuts to hide behind, cast and crew had to work as a single organism, combining acting, camera movement, lighting, sound, art direction and practical effects in real time. The result reflects the collaborative spirit of an independent production built on rehearsals, precision, trust and the desire to take creative risks.

The ensemble cast includes Anne Faria, João Fernandes, Cassio Alves, Roberta Piragibe, Sofia Manso, Catarina Victori and Laura Barreto, alongside Silvio Gonzalez, Rafael Schubert, Cezar Maracujá and Isaú Junior. The film is directed by Fábio Brandão, with a screenplay by Tay Ferreira, Fábio Brandão, Silvio Gonzalez and Rafael Schubert, and executive production by Roby Amaral.

Behind its genre elements and metalinguistic humor, Story.Telling: Chapter 2 is ultimately about people: their fears, contradictions, choices and need for connection.
