Pablo is a young actor who dreams of staring in a film. Still in order to make ends meet he has to work as simulated patient in medicine schools and weird sessions of alternative therapies. But it's not only his career that becomes stuck, his life also seems to be spiraling as he is still in love with his successful ex-boyfriend, and his roommate disappeared without paying the rent, leaving behind several problems among them... a ghost. This is the start of Pablo's journey through the Ñuñoa neighborhood, meeting new friends and allies, finding out that the path to fulfil his dreams will be more tangled and strange that he thought.

The lack of a definitive explanation may frustrate some viewers, but the director, lead actor, and cinematographer Patricio Alfaro certainly create a warm and welcoming world where young people, gay and straight alike, are free to shape their lives...

Rated: 3/5

With naturalness and a free structure that even allows for artsy animation interruptions, this ensemble comedy reveals intimate contradictions, vocational difficulties, and the various challenges one faces when maturing. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

Phantom Project is many things at once and could've turned into chaos, though paradoxically, it works well thanks to a filmmaker that never loses his compass, keeping the film from falling off the rails. [Full review in Spanish] [Full review in Spanish]

Film Is A Fine Affair

A worthwhile, ghost-infused, daily LGBT+ life effort.

Rated: 65/100

Shadows on the Wall

As the plot meanders amiably, it finds moments of insight that continually catch us by surprise.

Rated: 4/5

Bay Area Reporter

Phantom Project walks a fine line between being lighthearted and a little to woo-woo/touchy-feely. Nevertheless, Cano as Pablo is adorable enough to keep us watching what will happen to him next.

Rated: B

Sweet. Charming. Boy becoming man with loving parents and good friends. What more could you want? A proper acting role in a film. There you are. The lead is so nice he could hardly be sexy; but he is: flirting with a young doctor (will this lead to anything?) and being thrown around the room by a ghost. Is there something Eric Roemer ish about the film?: Young people working out how to live, be friends and find love in the modern world. Is that why I enjoyed it so much?

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
