What

Bringing the tragic true story of one of Latin America’s most famous disasters to screen was no easy task. However, rising Uruguayan star Enzo Vugrincic faced the pressures of brutal pain, fleeting signs of hope, and thoughts of impending death in honor of the departed and survivors of that accident. In the film J. A. Bayona Snow AssociationVogrincic plays Numa Turcatti, a bystander on an ill-fated flight in 1972. When the plane crashes into a mountain in the Andes, the survivors find themselves stranded on a glacier for more than two months. Noma acts as the hero and narrator of the story.

“This is a story you know from birth,” says Vujrencic, when asked what this role means to him. “When I heard about the casting for this film, I knew it was a story I wanted to tell, because it makes you proud that they are Uruguayan, but when you delve deeper into the story, you realize that it is much bigger than the who.”

Why

Although he did not come from a lineage of theatrical creators and actors, Vugrincic somehow felt an innate attraction to the profession. “It’s something I always ask myself, why do I act,” he reflects. “It was something that was inevitable for me. I looked up and down the family tree, and I couldn’t find actors, writers, poets… I think I did it almost in opposition to them. But it’s very personal. I’m creative in everything I do.” It’s a part of my being. I can’t help it.

The actor credits his time and rigorous six-day-a-week training at Uruguay’s prestigious performing arts school EMAD for giving him the tools to take on the more dramatic roles. From short films to plays until he finally got his first film playing soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo in the Uruguayan sports drama by Martin Barrenechea and Nicolas Branca. 9, Vogrincic has managed to cement himself in the process of making the leap from stage to silver screen. “Going from stage acting to film acting is very complicated because you have to transfer the act you are doing in front of a large audience to a camera right in front of you. It is as if the camera is seeing your soul. This feeling takes time because it is like jumping into a void,” he says. You have to pay attention. You must be prepared and understand how you can make this change.

When it comes to photography snow community, Vogrincic’s dedication to the craft was put to the ultimate test as the cast and crew braved extreme weather conditions on the grueling five-month shoot. “The most difficult thing was the avalanche scene because it took two weeks and the space on the plane was small. There were 25 people in a very narrow place buried in snow, so it was on our bodies and our skin, and that causes anxiety and that makes you feel tired and claustrophobic. I even filmed while He has a fever. “So, these were very difficult conditions to film, and the only way to get through it was to know that it was real and that people had actually lived through this and it was much worse. We had to focus and keep shooting, because the faster we did it, the faster we would get out of there.

When where

As for where we’ll see Vogrincic next, the actor explains that he’s still considering his options, but for now, his focus is on enjoying this limited moment and preparing for the Oscars. “This film was a window through which people could see me and then decide if they wanted to work with me, and contact me for projects. I decided to enjoy the whole process from start to finish, all the way up to the Oscars, because I never know when someone might come.” Something like this again.

Vugrincic says he’s excited to see what roles might come his way next. “I will start reading scripts very soon because I am ready to start acting again,” he says. While he loves thought-provoking and soul-stirring dramas that make the actor delve “deep into himself,” he wants to change things and break the bad. “I like to play the bad guy. It doesn’t matter the type, it’s the character that has an evil side, a dark side, that deep pain.
