“This is a different initiative from [Iberseries’] Coproduction & Financing Forum, but it maintains the same essence: connecting projects with key partners and accelerating the financing, production and distribution processes of projects in development,” said its general coordinator Rodrigo Ros.
Nine series projects below cover the gamut of genres: from the festival scandal drama in “Callback” to sports docu series “Heartbeats,” thrillers such as “In Memoriam” and “The Invisible Ink” and variations of comedies from a romcom to a heist comedy as well as historical coming-of-age drama, “King of Hearts.”
“Callback” (Joana Vilapuig, Mirela Vilapuig, Spain)
“Heartbeats” (“Latidos,” Cristina Molino, Spain)
“The Invisible Ink” (“La tinta invisible,” César Díaz, Belgium, Uruguay)
“King of Hearts” (Gilles Coulier, Belgium)
“Las Palmas My Love” (“Las Palmas mon amour,” France, Spain)
“Listen to My Lips” (Daniela Ruah, Portugal, Brazil)
“Sangria” (Horacio Alcalá, Sweden, Finland, Spain)
The heist comedy from Strive Stories, Sons of Lumiere and The Aurora Project follows a 51-year-old housekeeper and three discarded workers who take on an AI billionaire after automation costs them their livelihoods. Jaakko Hutchings is attached to star. The project has Creative Europe MEDIA slate support. Director and producer Horacio Alcalá calls it “a heist comedy where the weapons are an apron, a lemon and 30 years of being invisible.”
