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.

Kathy Fennessy Video Librarian Magazine 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 May 8, 2023 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com 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 Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine 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] Rated: 8/10 Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Vassilis Kroustallis Film Is A Fine Affair A worthwhile, ghost-infused, daily LGBT+ life effort. Rated: 65/100 Dec 28, 2022 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall As the plot meanders amiably, it finds moments of insight that continually catch us by surprise. Rated: 4/5 Oct 20, 2022 Full Review Gregg Shapiro 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 Oct 13, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Richard D 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 02/08/23 Full Review Pablo M Recomiendo ver los primeros 30 minutos, después de eso no es necesario. Le película tiene demasiado errores de montaje, cortes abruptos, cámaras sin estabilizar, errores de continuidad en donde se nos presenta al protagonista con barba, en la escena siguiente está afeitado al ras para que posteriormente aparezca nuevamente con la barba larga, creo que son errores aceptables de un director sin estudios ni experiencia cinematográfica, pero aquí no es el caso. El guión está lleno de lagunas, hay casi 10 personajes que no aportan a la trama como la vecina, la chica de las plantas, el amigo/interés romántico, la cantante argentina..etc etc. Esto incluyendo al famoso fantasma que si bien, reconozco que se utilizaron efectos especiales ingeniosos, eso pudo ser ocupado en un corto y habría sido más efectivo. Otra laguna que llamo mi atención es en el momento que Pablo, el personaje principal, comienza a trabajar en el centro espiritual, solicita que le den un adelanto para que escenas siguientes cuando le dan el adelanto expresa su intención de no seguir trabajando ahí porque quiere actuar en pelicula, lo que me hizo preguntar quien le da un adelanto a una persona que solo trabajo una vez y despues expresa su intención de no continuar. El director olvida un elemento esencial en el cine "show, don't tell" ya que de momentos los personajes deben aparecer a explicarnos qué siente el protagonista o por qué está en esa situación. También cuesta empatizar con Pablo, ya que constantemente se queja de que no tiene dinero o que su compañero de piso no le ha pagado, pero este tampoco realiza acciones para enfrentar esa adversidad y tampoco sabemos de dónde saca el dinero para pagar el arriendo. Esta pelicula a mi parecer fue hecha para el director y sus amigos, pero se olvida del resto de la audiencia, pudo ser mucho mas efectiva cómo un corto. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
