Roberto Flores began his successful career as an editor of advertising videos. However, as Flores progressed through his career, he jumped at opportunities he received to edit two feature films before he turned twenty five years old. Although he enjoyed editing those films, his work on them encouraged him to branch out further and direct his own independent film. Soon after he finished editing the two feature films, Flores directed his own production, a dramatic short film titled "Nocturno". "Nocturno" was met with overwhelming success; it was featured in more than twelve different film festivals around the world.
"The Last Show" is the second short film that Flores has directed. As stated earlier, although "The Last Show" will be screened at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, it made its initial debut in 2015. The short film has since won the 2015 Peruvian Short Film Contest. This film contest is the most prestigious film contest in the entire country of Peru. In order to win the top prize, "The Last Show" competed against more than ninety other qualified participants and was judged to be of higher quality content and craftsmanship than all other competitors.
