Chile’s Rizoma, Actors Ernesto Alterio and Soledad Villamil Board Iberseries Forum-Bound ‘A Distant Place’ by Alberto Lecchi (EXCLUSIVE)
Chile’s Rizoma and Ernesto Alterio and Soledad Villamil have boarded Iberseries-bound ‘A Distant Place’ by Argentina’s Alberto Lecchi.
Based in Córdoba, Argentina, Twins Latin Films’ most recent productions are “Almamula,” which had its world premiere at the Berlinale last year, and Rodrigo Guerrero’s “Salvajes,” both streaming on Prime Video. “When Lorena invited me to participate in ‘A Distant Place,’ I felt that it was not only the theme of the film— a love story, the complexity of human relationships, a rare mental illness, the importance of second chances—compelling, but also the committed talent involved – including the young Chilean actor, Clemente Rodríguez, [“El Conde”], Chile’s Sergio Armstrong [“Neruda”] as the director of photography and editor Andrea Chignoli [“No”], alongside Spanish co-producer Néstor López of Filmakers Monkeys – that allow us to envision a tremendous international project with the potential to cross borders and debut at a class-A festival,” said Freund. “From a production standpoint, it presents an opportunity to create a work of high artistic value that touches on universal emotions, enabling the creation of an organic co-production among Ibero-American countries, tailored to their markets and audiences,” she added.
