How Colombians Crafted Netflix’s ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’
Netflix’s ‘100 Years of Solitude’ injected more than $52 million into the Colombian economy, playing off Colombian incentives, talent, storytelling and locations.
Indeed, this series adaptation of Nobel Literary Prize-winner Gabriel García Márquez’s 1967 magnum opus solidifies Colombia’s position as a premier destination for international productions, underscoring the diversity of its landscapes, exceptional talent and top-tier services. “In terms of cast, crew and craftsmen, Latin America is growing in spades; we have more highly qualified people who are now capable of living off their craft,” he notes, adding: “It’s been 10 years since Netflix launched its Latino productions with ‘Club de los Cuervos.’ Looking back, it’s amazing how much we’ve progressed,” says Ramos. For me, personally, working on such a massive production with so many people, there’s no such thing as a small scene in ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude.’ Even if the script simply says, ‘Úrsula walks down a street,’ that translates to 120 extras, carriages, animals, wind, hours of costume fittings and prosthetics.”
