Argentine filmmaker Marcos Carnevale has not stopped working since November, when film activity was reactivated in his native country, following a break due to the pandemic. His next shoot is a film for Netflix, although he also plans to return to Puerto Rico for the filming of a biopic (biographical film).
In Argentina and under the protocol of covid-19, he filmed for four months a “very important” series for Disney +.
“It was an intense 16 weeks, but we fit in perfectly. On April 5, I start with a film produced by Netflix, with Guillermo Francella, who is a well-known actor. It will surely be released at the end of the year. a pretty big movie, “the director told the spokesman.
Since opening in Argentina, proposals are being filmed by Netflix, Apple, Amazon and Disney +.
“There is a lot of demand for platforms that are in need of a lot of content. It is difficult for us because there is overwork and sometimes technicians, artists, cameras and lights are missing because they are busy,” the filmmaker said.
In addition, he is plotting another film production in Puerto Rico.
This would be his second filming on the island because today the Puerto Rican film El quartet, which talks about freedom in an almost utopian way, is released in cinemas. In this one it directed to the Spanish Mario of the Rose (the paper house), the Puerto Rican based in Argentina, Claribel Medina; the Mexican Ianis Guerrero (Crows Club), the Puerto Rican Isel Rodríguez (Short Theater) and the Dominican Fausto Mata (Sanky Panky).
In addition, it flirts with directing to Dominican Republic another version of Lionheart, versionada 11 times in different countries.
The quartet is his 13th film and maintains the human theme that characterizes it, framing the ‘dramedy’.
“In this case it has to do with being Latin American and the problems that this implies in front of a country like the United States, which already being Latin is a reason to suspect something. So, this is a bit exacerbated. idea closing the quartet to five characters from the Latin world, with different problems and idiosyncrasies, “he explained.
The soundtrack went to Eduardo Cabra and includes the song Som, by Sie7i and sung by Guaynaa.
Special participation of Ricky Martin
In addition, Ricky Martin has a special collaboration.
“There’s a story by Ricky Martin, which is a text I wrote, which talks about something utopian. It’s a bit of a John Lennon look, that there should be no borders on the planet and we’re all the same , we are all human, “he stressed.
“I try to grow in each project, learn something new and do something different. I don’t like to repeat myself, I like to investigate, do new research. Of course, I don’t know if I’m trying to look for a higher work because this is never known, ”Carnevale summed up about his creative research.
The quartet integrates assisted subtitles in Spanish in all batches, for the benefit of the deaf community.
