Netflix has promoted Carolina Leconte to the position of senior director of content at its Mexican outpost. Leconte’s promotion at Netflix Mexico comes at a busy time at the streaming giant’s production hub where it previously announced a $300 million commitment to Mexican cinema and series as part of its #QueMéxicoSeVea (“Let Mexico Be Seen”) initiative. In August last year, it unveiled a number of projects in various stages of production, including: “Fiesta en la Madriguera” (“Down the Rabbit Hole”), directed by Manolo Caro(“The House of Flowers,” “Perfect Strangers”), which Noc Noc Films and Woo Films are producing; an adaptation of Bárbara Anderson’s novel “The Two Hemispheres of Lucca,” to be directed by Mariana Chenillo (“Somos”) and produced by Woo Films with Barbara Mori as the lead; and “Pedro Páramo,” the directorial debut of Oscar-nominated cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto (“Brokeback Mountain,” “The Irishman”), a seminal classic by Juan Rulfo, adapted by Mateo Gil (“Blackthorn”).
