Co-production´s interesting countries
We have a special interest in co-producing with Chile because of it´s proximity with the location of the film, and with Mexico because of the theme of the film. But at the same time we would like to have the opportunity to co-produce with Spain or France, countries that have diverse support funds and exhibition windows for Latin American cinema.
