“In nome del figlio’ movie Trailer

24 01 2012

Look what I found! This is the trailer of the Italian film we shot in Argentina in 2008. Directed by Alberto Simone and starring Lorenza Indovina and David Coco. Originally the title was “La luce nel cuore”. It was a movie made for Television and only broadcasted in Italy by Rai, so I was not able to watch it. But today I found the trailer, and well … here you have it, better late than never!

My First Original Screenplay!!

29 09 2011

I haven’t written about my work for a while. So… what have I been doing for the past year and a half? Well… I’ve been writing a screenplay, and I became so involved with it that it took up almost all of my time.

This is my first original feature film screenplay, and I have had a great time writing it. It’s been very hard work, but I am happy to say that I am right now finishing the final draft.

It’s a Fantasy Adventure for children, and I am very proud of it!

No he escrito acerca de mi trabajo por un tiempo. Entonces… ¿Qué he estado haciendo durante el último año y medio? Bueno… he estado escribiendo un guión, y me involucre tanto con el que ocupó casi todo mi tiempo.

Este es mi primer guión original cinematográfico, y lo pase genial escribiéndolo. Ha sido un trabajo muy duro, pero estoy feliz de decir que estoy en este momento terminando el borrador final.

Es una aventura fantástica para niños y estoy muy orgullosa de él!





360 for Gordon Round

A few weeks ago my Londoner friend Gordon Round gave me great news; he would be part of the new Fernando Meirelles drama “360”, an adaptation of the 1900 Arthur Schnitzler play “La Ronde”, written by Peter Morgan. It is a look at what happens when partners from different social backgrounds engage in physical relationships.

When he told me that he would be performing next to Anthony Hopkins, Rachel Weisz and Jude Law I couldn’t get more excited.

And so, the shooting begun March 21st in London. Where Gordon embodied “S. Millborough”, a Minessota Department of Corrections officer. I can’t wait for 2012 to see him on duty! If you can’t wait either, check out 360 blog following the entire filming stages.

Break a leg my friend!

On March 25th the feature film “There be Dragons” premiered in Spain raising 893,503 euros and more than 139,000 viewers through its first weekend.

It is an epic story set in the turbulent era of the Spanish Civil War that unveils a compelling drama full of passion, betrayal, love and religion.

Written and directed by the two-time Oscar nominee Roland Joffé. Also features performances by Dougray Scott, Olga Kurylenko, Ana Torrent, Geraldine Chaplin and Rodrigo Santoro among others. With the cinematographic debut of my own sister, Dolores Reynals, embodying the Saint’s sister as Carmen Escrivá.

The production was led by Ignacio Núñez and Ignacio Gómez Sancha, whom I had the pleasure of meeting last year in Madrid. It was filmed mostly on location in Argentina, especially Buenos Aires, Luján and the Sierra de la Ventana.

Charlie kaimakamian directorial debut “Delirium argentinum”

3 06 2010

A few months ago I was sharing a talk with my colleague Carlos (Charlie) kaimakamian about a project on which he has been working on for several years, and that today would be his directorial debut film. As Charlie told me about the arduous path he had been through, I saw the passion with which he spoke about his story and all of it that he still had to wander.

Finally, after an uphill battle and a lot of waiting, he succeeded. Not only on his dream cast, but also starting pre-production of “Delirium Argentinum,” a delirious feature in which Ricardo Darin plays himself.

Charlie I wish you all the best and… Break a leg!

Hace unos meses estuve compartiendo una charla con mi colega Carlos (Charlie) kaimakamian sobre un proyecto en el que ha estado trabajando por varios años, y que hoy se convertiría en su opera prima. Mientras Charlie me contaba sobre ese arduo camino que llevaba recorrido yo veía la pasión con la que hablaba de su historia y todo lo que todavía le quedaba por recorrer.

Finalmente, después de tanta lucha y tanta espera, lo consiguió. No solo su elenco soñado sino también comenzar la pre producción de “Delirium Argentinum”, un delirante largometraje en el cual Ricardo Darín se interpretara a sí mismo.

Charlie te deseo lo mejor y… Mucha mierda!
