Personal statement
Timo Puolitaipale says:
"Cortez the Killer is a story about the underdog and hidden potential. It tells the story of the nebulous little Cortez boy who, despite his struggle with cerebral palsy, relentlessly pursues his dream.
There’s an innocence and hope in it that made it a beautiful story to tell....and the little devil on anyone’s shoulder will smile at how far our hero is willing to go."
