Fantastic Lab Costa Rica Launches at the Costa Rica Media Market (EXCLUSIVE)


Grupo Morbido’s Pablo Guisa has partnered with the Costa Rica Media Market to launch Fantastic Lab Costa Rica in a bid to boost local genre pics.

Like its counterparts under the Sangre Latina banner hoisted by Grupo Morbido: the Sanfic-Morbido Lab (in Santiago de Chile), Blood Window in Ventana Sur (Argentina and Uruguay) and the Fantastic Pavilion (Cannes), the primary aim is to foster more genre filmmaking in the region. Atómica, led by filmmaker Miguel Gómez (“El Sanatorio”), will produce a proof of concept of the winning project, which will be presented at Cannes’ Marché du Film in the next stage of its development trajectory. In addition, starting this Autumn, a Morbido Cine fantasy film showcase will take place in Costa Rica, which includes a training and refresher workshop, kicking off with special effects makeup this year.
