This spring Filmgate worked on Carne de Neon (Neon Flesh, a spanish film directed by Paco Cabeza. Filmgate provided the 3D Bullet for the film and also the 3D credits. Filmgate also did some paint work and compositing. Conform and grade  was also done in Filmgates facilities.

RICKY will die tonight. A bullet is speeding inexorably towards his head. Thoughts whirl in his brain, trying to find a reason why this lump of lead is about to put an end to his life. But first let's rewind.

RICKY’s mother, PURA, is about to get out of prison. She’s an ex-prostitute who hasn’t seen her son for fifteen years since she abandoned him in the street. With the money he has saved during all this time, RICKY wants to become a business man and open a roadside brothel to make his mother proud of him. It may sound strange but it's only a son trying to bring to life the dream of her mother albeit at the expense of the sweat and sex of others. RICKY partners up with a couple of misfits, ANGELITO and NIÑO, diving head first into the “business” and opening the “Hiroshima Club”. The following week PURA is released from prison. RICKY meets her and takes her to the club. She however is not only unable to recall her son's face but also has no interest in being reintegrated into society and wants to return to prison. After so much effort to get some love from his mother Ricky is devastated.

RICKY has only one chance to save his mother's life and recover her respect, even if he has to steal, kidnap or maybe end up dead. “Neon Flesh” is a story of misfits, losers bound to make things wrong if the want to find the right path to happiness.
