And it goes directly to a girl named Geraldine Fernandez of ColumbiaThose who claimed to have done freelance work on it, with arguments that didn’t convince people who pursued such work.
After going viral on social networks, the girl commented that perhaps she exaggerated with the matter, because according to her words she only worked in a few scenes, something that would have been supported by some illustrative images created by her, which soon after they would deny themselves because they were Deviant Art.

The story of Geraldine Fernandez from Barranquilla, who appeared as an illustrator in the most recent Golden Globe-winning film, The Boy and the Heron, turned out to be false…
El Heraldo, in an attempt to highlight the city and Caribbean artists, relied on Fernández’s claims, though they ended up being false. This editorial apologizes to its readers for all the information published about this graphic designer that misleads the media…
In the end, it is necessary that social networks for these moments Geraldine Fernandez They have been deactivated, and no one can communicate with him how far the false impression of his joke or something he made up has gone and the influence he has had in the media.
