Lead produced by Gabriela Sandoval at Cine Matriz and Storyboard Media, the widower tragic-comedy also taps Italy’s Zoe Films.

Colombia’s Doc:Co is set to co-produce “After Elena,” headed by one of Latin America’s foremost of actors, Alfredo Castro, whose turns in Tony Manero, ‘No’ and ‘The Club’ helped Pablo Larraín lift off as an international filmmaker. Moved at Berlin by Gabriela Sandoval, who produced out of her label Cine Matriz and Storyboard Media, where she teams with Carlos Nuñez, “After Elena” also marks the the awaited sophomore feature of Chilean director-producer Shawn Garry after he impressed with his debut, festival hit “Desierto Sur.” Boarding “After Elena,” Doc:Co has moved into production, after it launched international sales at 2023’s Ventana Sur with “Otra Piel,” also backed by Cine Matriz.
