The idea is to take advantage of our experience to apply a very specific approach to the industry, with few projects for each one of great value. We are going slowly, without hurry, but advancing steadily. We present ourselves at Mipcom with three projects already pitched’.
He explains them: ‘The first is En Búsqueda de Clinsor Klingsor, based on the novel by Jorge Volpi. It is a thriller about the search for a nuclear scientist of Hitler in South America, after the 2nd world war. It is a fiction, it goes from Germany to Chile, with exciting plot twists’.
}Another project that is highlighting is No Pıdas Nada, by Reynaldo Sietecase, where Pyrus get associated with a Spanish producer. It deals with heads of the Argentine Military Dictatorship, who when they are about to be brought to trial for crimes against humanity, begin to commit suicide successively, and it is suspected that they are induced crimes.
Also talks about Los Últimos Días de Clayton & Co, by Francisca Solar. It’s about a 15-year-old girl in a remote community who runs a photo studio where she has paranormal experiences.
‘At Mipcom we seek to continue making ourselves known, and give more fit to these projects in order to close their developments. The three are designed as series, the first 6 x 50′, the second 8 x 50′ and the third as a short series of 4 to 6 hours. These are the formats that are requested a lot today’, finalizes.
