This short was made almost entirely improvised in about two days. It was shot in 2000 with the purpose of taking part in a horror short competition. The prize was a digital camera. "Notívago" lost, but confirmed the directors interest in the horror genre and went on to participate in festivals around Brazil.
The participation of "Notívago" in the competition of the Brazilian School Film Festival marked the first time the directors showed their work in public. The short was very well regarded, having received a loud compliment by director Paulo Halm. It went on to compete in the Vitória Film Festival, among others.
