-How was the experience of working with Dakota in the spot?
Alejandro Amenabar: "It's a strange situation because in short movie you meet the people just some minutes before starting filming but I think she had a lot of fun. We were very lucky because the weather in Ibiza was amazing. We had some beers with her and it was a very good time."

How is Dakota?
Quim Gutierrez: Even though she's a Hollywood star, she's humble and friendly. She was really really tired because of the long flight but she was always smiling. She was a surprise, she made everything easy.
Has she got any dive whims?
Quim Gutierrez: No, not at all. She was integrated since the beginning, joking and fooling with us.
Does she speak Spanish?
Quim Gutierrez: She doesn't speak, but she understand it perfectly.

HQ Screencaps
From THR:
Dakota Johnson, Quim Gutierrez and Game of Thrones' Natalia Tena star in Oscar-winning The Others director Alejandro Amenabar's first short. Johnson plays, Rachel, an American tourist who goes to Ibiza for the summer and makes a group of friends on the Spanish island.
Johnson plays the tourist. Tena and Gutierrez play two of the friends she meets.
Suite Francais' Edu Grau headed photography on the short that Amenabar wrote for beer company Estrella Damm. The short replaces the company's annual, ever-popular summer commercial.
"We tried to reflect the values that are intimately connected with the Mediterranean, putting special emphasis on the cultural offerings," the foreign-language film Oscar-winning director of The Sea Inside said. "Living Mediterraneanly means going out, meeting people and immersing yourself in music, film, theater and exhibits. We’d like the film to awaken the audience’s spirit of sociability and optimism and, why not — a smile."

- Amenabar on Dakota: “She’s spectacular and she’s doing everything great.”
Translation of Dakota's Interview
She has got a bodyguard, a manager and a tourist guide helper. She says in English “Hi, Victoria, please to meet you”. She stands up, smiles, we shake hands and she looks directly to my eyes. She has a beautiful smile, she’s sweet, secure and calm. Her hair is now black and she’s really smart.
Do you like a specific movie directed by Amenabar?
Dakota: The Others is the most famous in US, but I know all his work and I like it.
How is working with him in this spot?
Dakota: He’s amazing and charming, with him everything seems really easy. It’s great to work with someone so calm, who knows exactly what he wants, there’s no stress while shooting. Aménabar is adorable.
What can you tell me about your role, Rachel?
Dakota: It’s funny to play the role of a typical American tourist because I think I’m not at all this type of girl. I’ve travelled a lot and I spend a lot of time in Europe.
Have you been in Ibiza before?
Dakota: No, never. It’s the first time and I like it. I have friends that come here and they love this place. But I have discovered that Ibiza is not only about parties, it has beautiful places.
You obviously know the Mediterranean Sea…
Dakota: I’ve been in Spain a very important part of my like. I spend a lot of time in Malaga and Marbella. I adore Spain, I’m really happy to be here again, I’m happy here, I’m feeling at home.
Did you know Estrella Damm bear before shooting this spot?
Dakota: Yeah, some friends of mine did the song of the last year spot, The Vaccines. And, as a good American, I adore drinking beer, at night and very cold.
How is working with Quim Gutierrez and the other spanish actors?
Dakota: They’re amazing. Quim is so cool, they’re all really charming and friendly with me. There’s a good atmosphere here and I like the island.
Maybe you can come on holidays one day…
Dakota: Maybe, I don’t know. Who knows. I don’t know.
It’s time to finish the interview. She stands up and says “Pleased to meet you, sorry but I have to continue working”.
