Following a two-month shoot in Melilla, Seville and other Andalusian locations, this début film has won the backing of La Claqueta and Powehi Films. Alegría (Violeta Samala’s feature-length début) is a feel-good tale that invites us to witness an exotic Jewish wedding in the characterful city of Melilla, which we explore in the company of four women, portrayed by small-screen stars Cecilia Suárez (who you may have seen recently in the Amazon Prime series 3 Caminos), Laia Manzanares (Merlí), Sarah Perles (El Cid) and Mara Guill (Caronte). Also in town for the celebrations are Leonardo Sbaraglia (star of the recent Pain and Glory), Adelfa Calvo (The Motive), Emilio Palacios, Zohar Liba, Joe Manjón and María Luisa Mayol. After shooting in Melilla, Seville and other Andalusian locations in February and March, the film is now in post-production.

Post-production has wrapped on the first film by the acting agent, toplined by Bruna Cusí, Ricardo Gómez and Eneko Sagardoy. Borja de la Vega works in one of those professions that don’t get much press: he is an agent for actors and actresses. More specifically, he is the joint director of the agency Kuranda, which handles the professional affairs of thesps of the likes of Elena Anaya, Penélope Cruz and Jordi Mollà, among countless others. But he has also made the leap to the world of cinematic creation, making his debut with Mía y Moi, a film set to star Bruna Cusí (Summer 1993), Ricardo Gómez, Eneko Sagardoy (the winner of the Goya Award for Best New Actor in 2018 after his turn in Giant) and Joe Manjón, who is of French heritage and previously appeared in The August Virgin.

"The time is near." Strand Releasing has unveiled an official red band trailer for the indie horror thriller titled Framed, made by Spanish filmmaker Marc Martínez. This first premiered at the 2017 Molins Film Festival in Spain, and played at other small festivals all over the world for a few years. It's finally getting a VOD release this summer in the Us. Framed is another one of these eye-roll-inducing concepts about an app that lets people stream whatever, without censorship, so of course people get violent and disgusting with it. Three "players" crash a party and force the party-goers into cruel games and tortures being broadcast live. Ugh. I'm so tired of these horror films, glorifying fame and popularity and torture. Starring Joe Manjón, Alex Maruny, Clàudia Pons, Julia Molins, and Enric Aunquer. This is definitely not for most people. Here's the official red band trailer (+ poster) for Marc Martínez's Framed,...
