El Diario de Murcia (Spain) interviews the film director Gala Hernández:

Parece que tenéis muy claro cómo lo vais a enfocar, ¿qué influencias se pueden descubrir en Naturaleza Muerta? (Rafa López)
Las influencias no están muy pensadas. Tengo un abanico muy amplio de cine que me gusta, pero no me he fijado en nada concreto para el corto. Por decir algo, a nivel simbólico podemos decir que puede recordar a Jane Eyre, por el papel de la mujer encerrada, enclaustrada. (Translation)
