Emmy Winner James A. Castillo Discusses Animating Goya’s Madness in Tribeca Player ‘The Quinta’s Ghost,’ Unveils Trailer (EXCLUSIVE)
James A. Castillo's 'The Quinta’s Ghost,' debuting at Tribeca, explores Goya's art and trauma, blending horror and Spanish history.
He previously wowed audiences with his Children’s & Family Emmy-winning VR film “Madrid Noir,” and now turns his eye to 19th-century Spanish painter Francisco de Goya and the ominous Black Paintings he created in isolation at La Quinta del Sordo in the later stages of his life. Using tools of the horror genre and the latest real-time animation technology, Castillo brings the ghosts of Goya’s past and the voice of the house itself, portrayed by the iconic Maribel Verdú, to visceral, gothic life. Co-written with Julio A. Serrano, with artistic collaboration from Pakoto Martinez, the short marks the first production from Castillo’s own Martirio Films and was produced in partnership with Illusorium Studios in Madrid.
