Former Pimienta Films executive producer Paulina Valencia has boarded coming-of-age drama “The Weird” (“Lo Raro”), the debut feature of Nicolasa Ruiz, whose most recent short, “Extinction of the Species,” which she co-directed with Matt Porterfield, participated in Cannes’ Critics Week last year. Now being written by Ruiz, the project’s development journey has taken it through Meet Mart Gabriel Figueroa Film Fund, Catapulta FICUNAM, Berlinale Talents Guadalajara Edition/Guion FICG, Cine Qua Non Lab and The Write Retreat Mallorca, among others. They have opened up a space for me to contribute creatively to a project, where they value my outsider perspective as a reference for how to write a story that, while depicting life in the rural north of Mexico, poses questions and delivers a message that is undoubtedly relevant to Latin realities across the continent.”
