Daniela Ramírez-Led ‘La Isla’ Series Starts Southern Chile Shoot in October (EXCLUSIVE)


Sci-fi series ‘La Isla,’ presented at 2023 Sanfic Series Lab, Conecta Fiction and Iberseries, starts principal photography in October.

Penned by Felipe Carmona(“Prison in the Andes”), the six-part series focuses on a dogged detective (Ramírez) who returns to her hometown in the enigmatic Chiloé archipelago to investigate the disappearance of a Mexican archaeology student. I am drawn to the idea of showing extreme physical and psychological changes as a metaphor for personal and collective evolution,” he said, adding: “In ‘La Isla,’ this journey allows us, through an episodic structure, to explore these points. This motivates me to create a unique universe where the imaginative space can be reinterpreted, giving this series a distinctive quality for films made in the Southern Cone.”
