Objectives to be achieved
Make a feature film with a duration of 90 minutes, which will be shot in the cities of Belo Horizonte (Brazil) and Montevideo (Uruguay). The objective is to send the film to international film festivals, as well as to market it in theaters and negotiate the sale for streaming services.
Co-production´s interesting countries
The plot of the film takes place between Belo Horizonte and Montevideo. In this sense, the search for a co-production between Brazil and Uruguay seems natural to make the film possible. The story of the characters deals with human and universal issues, bringing to the script a narrative potential to be commercialized internationally. So we consider a European post-production and participation in the projection of the film's career in its worldwide strategy.
