Frankly, there is no end to the gestation metaphors I could employ here, but let’s just say it all started with Andy Valdovinos. He was working on a few budding film projects back in 2006 when I asked him the question: “Do you think there are enough Paraguayan films now that I could write a dissertation about them?” His encouragement came with a list of names of people working on film projects. The conversations I had with Patricia Aguayo, Hugo Cataldo, Fredi Casco, Manuel Cuenca, Renate Costa, Paz Encina, Ramiro Gómez, Pablo Lamar, Juan Carlos Maneglia and Tana Schémbori, Marcelo Martinessi, Paulo Meileke, Augusto Netto Sisa, Aníbal Ríos, Claudia Rojas, and Mariana Vázquez Tandé helped me understand that something big was happening.

I am greatly indebted to the following people, whose support, kindness, help, encouragement and labor have gone into this project in one way or another: to the Valdovinos family, thank you for welco
