Argentine filmmaker Marcos Carnevale has not stopped working since November, when film activity was reactivated in his native country, after the forced break of the pandemic. His next film is a film for Netflix, although he also intends to return to Puerto Rican soil to film a biopic (biographical film).
In Argentina and under the covid-19 protocol, he filmed a “very important” series for Disney + for four months.
“It was 16 intense weeks, but we adapted perfectly. On April 5, I start with a Netflix movie starring Guillermo Francella, who is a well-known actor. It will definitely be released at the end of the year. It’s a pretty big movie, “said the director Spokesman.
Since opening on Argentine soil, they have been filming proposals for Netflix, Apple, Amazon and Disney +.
“There is a great demand for platforms that need a lot of content. It is difficult for us, because there is an excess of work and sometimes the technicians, the artists, the rooms and the lights are missing because they are busy “, said the filmmaker.
In addition, he is planning another film production in Puerto Rico.
This would be his second filming on the island, as today the Puerto Rican film El cuartito, which talks about freedom in an almost utopian way, premieres in cinemas. In it he directed the Spaniard Mario de la Rosa (Paper House), the Puerto Rican based in Argentina, Claribel Medina; the Mexican Ianis Guerrero (Club de Cuervos), the Puerto Rican Isel Rodríguez (Teatro Breve) and the Dominican Fausto Mata (Sanky Panky).
In addition, it is flirting with the direction of another version of Corazón de León in the Dominican Republic, covered 11 times in different countries.
The small room is his 13th film and maintains the human theme that characterizes it, framed in “dramedy”.
“In this case, it has to do with being Latin American and the problems it entails in front of a country like the United States, which, being Latino, makes you suspect something. So, that idea gets a little exacerbated by blocking five Latin characters in the small room, with various problems and idiosyncrasies, “he explained.
The soundtrack fell on Eduardo Cabra and includes the song Somos, written by Sie7e and sung by Guaynaa.
Ricky Martin’s special participation
Ricky Martin also has a special collaboration.
“There is a story told by Ricky Martin, which is a text I wrote that talks about something utopian. It’s a bit like John Lennon, that there should be no borders on the planet and that we are all the same, we are all human beings “, he underlined.
“I try to develop in each project, to learn something new and to do something different. I don’t like to repeat myself, I like to investigate, to do a new search. Of course, I don’t know if I’m trying to find a superior job because you never know “, Carnevale summed up his creative search.
