Through their YouTube account, the creative team Mostro Contenidos [es] has released a documentary series called ‘Memorabilia‘ [es, en], where they present a collection of short interviews with Venezuelan personalities who have stood out -nationally and internationally- in film, entertainment, and the arts.
In their promotional video, the team describes how, despite their own doubts in undertaking a project without financing, they've managed to gather interviews with an interesting array of characters.
