‘Cielo’ Producers Talk Opportunities & Challenges Of Shooting In Bolivia: “It’s Such An Extraordinary And Diverse Landscape”
The Alberto Sciamma film, which recently had its UK premiere at SXSW London, is one of a few foreign productions to film in the South American country
The film, which recently had its UK premiere at SXSW London to two packed screenings, follows Santa, an eight-year-old girl from the desolate Bolivian Altiplano, who embarks on a rollercoaster journey to take her mother from a life of misery into paradise. Sciamma writes and directs the visceral and cinematic film, which stars Fernanda Gutierrez Aranda, Fernando Arze Echalar, Sasha Salaverry, Carla Arana, Luis Bredow, Cristian Mercado and Juan Carlos Aduviri. Deadline sat down with producers Dunton-Downer, Waugh and Kadoorie to talk about the project, their experience of shooting in a location with some of the most treacherous roads known to man and why they hope Cielo will inspire other foreign productions to take advantage of Bolivia’s natural beauty.
