\n\tArgentina\u2019s Twins Latin Films has boarded Natalia Smirnoff\u2019s upcoming feature \u201cRoger on the Loose\u201d (\u201cRoger suelto\u201d), which is poised to shoot next year in the forests and sierras of C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina.<\/p>\n
\n\tLed by producers Lorena Quevedo and Pablo Di Patrizio, Twins Latin Films joins Argentina\u2019s A\u00f1o Cero, Spain\u2019s Fasten Films and Mexico\u2019s Maria Jose Cordova of Somos Maravillosa to co-produce the drama. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tMeanwhile, Twin Latins Films is participating in Iberseries & Platino Industria\u2019s co-production forum with sports family dramedy \u201cTiempo fuera.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cRoger on the Loose\u201d marks a new milestone in Smirnoff\u2019s career, best known for \u201cPuzzle\u201d (Berlinale) and \u201cLock Charmer\u201d (Sundance).<\/p>\n
\n\tDrama follows Roger, a 33-year-old neurodivergent man living with his sister, Margarita, in their family\u2019s guesthouse nestled in a quiet mountain town. Deeply fascinated by fungi and their ecological mysteries, Roger lives a carefully structured life \u2013 one that begins to unravel with the arrival of curious tourists and, in particular, Lucy, who is drawn to the area in search of hallucinogenic mushrooms. As their connection deepens, long-buried desires surface, pushing Roger to confront his growing need for independence and the limits of his reliance on his sister \u2013 ultimately setting him on a path toward self-discovery.<\/p>\n
\n\tSmirnoff co-penned the screenplay with Mar\u00eda Meira, whose notable credits include \u201cThe Substitute\u201d and \u201cUna especie de familia.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWhen Federico invited us to join \u2018Roger on the Loose,\u2019 it felt incredibly meaningful \u2013 a project that combines Natalia\u2019s artistic strength with the urgent need to give voice to neurodiversity and environmental themes, all set against the rich backdrop of C\u00f3rdoba\u2019s natural landscapes and local talent,\u201d said Quevedo and Di Patrizio.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cBringing on partners with experience, energy and commitment is key at this stage of the project. We are also excited to shoot in C\u00f3rdoba, which has been consolidating as one of the country\u2019s strongest audiovisual hubs,\u201d said Federico Sande Novo of A\u00f1o Cero.<\/p>\n
\n\tCordoba offers a 40% cash rebate program, which provides a beacon of hope for many local beleaguered filmmakers who can no longer count on the support of the National Film Institute, INCAA under the administration of President Milei.<\/p>\n
\n\tTwins Latin Films\u2019 credits include \u201cEl Casero\u201d (Best Director, Mar del Plata) and \u201cAlmamula\u201d (Berlinale Generation).<\/p>\n
\n\tA\u00f1o Cero produced Sebasti\u00e1n Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s \u201cThe Prince,\u201d winner of a Queer Lion, Venice, while Barcelona-based Fasten Films\u2019 slate includes \u201cMediterr\u00e1neo\u201d and Cannes Golden Camera winner \u201cInside the Yellow Cocoon Shell.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tMaria Jose Cordova of Somos Maravillosa is best known for backing such popular titles as \u201cThe House of Flowers,\u201d \u201cHoly Family\u201d and \u201cSomeone Has to Die.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe production team is completed by Rossana Baumeister (\u201cDaughter of Rage\u201d) who serves as an executive producer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
