France’s Srab Films to Co-Produce Colombian Family Drama ‘Name and Surname,’ Part of Ventana Sur’s Proyecta Lineup (EXCLUSIVE)


Colombia's quickly rising star producers Franco Lolli and Capucine Mahé are producing this feature debut of long-time collaborator Duván Duque Vargas.

“On one hand, it somehow makes sense, as I believe there’s something about this wandering teenager, navigating through the contrasting worlds of the fractured home of his father – a street money lender – and his upper-class school friends, that will resonate strongly in the Latin American context. Their previous work together includes Duque’s multi-prized short “Todo Incluido” and Lolli’s Colombian Academy Macondo award winner “Litigante” and Cannes player “Gente de bien.” “Duván absolutely has a story to tell, and we know that his vision, dedication, and work ethic will lead us to a very profound and cinematographic portrait of what being a teenager in our modern Latin-American societies entails, especially when coming from a broken home.”
