Mexico’s Martfilms, Guatemala’s Cine Concepción and Norway’s Merfilm have boarded Aeden O’Connor Agurcia’s Honduran immigration drama “Cae el sol” (“Sun Falls”), produced by Ana Isabel Martins Palacios at Pulsar Cine.
One of the 15 projects presented as part of Ventana Sur 2022’s Proyecta initiative, “Cae el sol” also counts on a local co-production involvement by Fosforito Films in Honduras and investment from U.S. company Amé Films.
Writer-director O’Connor Agurcia’s feature debut, “90 minutes,” won the Audience Award at the 2020 Miami International Film Festival.
In development, “Cae el sol’s” producers plan to go into production on the film by the end of next year or early 2024.
The story is set in 2018 Honduras, focusing on a group of young filmmakers overcoming their context by becoming storytellers.
The lead character is Jackson, a passionate young man who dreams of making films that denounce the corruption, poverty and violence in Honduras.
