We have been for a while following the work of Juan Rays in La Gomera, impatiently waiting for the publishing of is video in the island, and the result has not let us down. This video is englobed in the Canary Islands Tourism Board #7Stories. The board invited 7 international independent filmmakers with large impact on social networks. A different view of every island filled with emotion and that in the following days will conquer internet.
Juan Rayos, the filmmaker that got sent to La Gomera is also the only spanish representative. Now, it is our turn to decide which one we like best:
1) GRAN CANARIA:
Rick Mereki (Melbourne). Famous for filming and publishing in August 2011 3 short films «Move», «Eat» and «Learn» created with Time White and Andrew Lees. These became some of the top viral Vimeo videos with around 22.900.000 views.
