Spain’s Batiak Films, Elora Post House Board Immigration Horror Feature ‘Tenants,’ Heading to Ventana Sur’s Proyecta (EXCLUSIVE)
Maria Paz Barragán, herself a Peruvian living in Madrid, is co-writing and will direct the socially conscious horror story.
An example of Latin America’s maturing and constantly diversifying genre scene and the region’s increasingly strong industry ties to Spain, “Tenants” tells the 2003-set story of Edwin and Maria, two immigrants from Lima, Peru, who relocated to Madrid in search of a better life. This year, the company produced “Lo carga el diablo,” which screened in competition at the Miami Film Festival, and “The Human Hibernation,” a FIPRESCI winner at the Berlinale. Elora Posthouse has done work for all sorts and sizes of productions in Spain, from big brand ads for Real Madrid, Disney and Papa John’s to high-end series for Movistar+ (“Buen trabajo”) and Prime Video (“El pueblo”) to feature films, such as Jesús del Cerro’s “En otro lugar” and Juan Francisco Viruega’s San Sebastian player “Amenece.”
