In its 100th international appearance, The Servant scooped was chosen as the best production at 2017 Corto Creativo Short Film Festival in Mexico as well as in Hot Springs International Horror Film Festival in the US.
The Servant narrates the familiar story of a master and his servant, the story of a writer’s encounter with a gigantic insect: a cockroach.

The man, however, attempts to preserve the current situation but soon realizes that the game has no rules.
