Caribbean filmmakers pitched a quartet of distinct projects at the first joint venture between Ventana Sur, the Trinidad + Tobago Film Festival (ttff) and the Caribbean Film Mart on Tuesday.
After introductory words by ttff editorial director Jonathan Ali, Puerto Rican producer Annabelle Mullen began the session with her pitch for Demented.
The thriller centres on a successful photographer of morbid scenes who experiences black-outs and wakes up next to a dead body every time.
“We wanted to do something outside the box from what Puerto Rican movies [usually] are,” said Mullen. “There are not a lot of psychological thrillers in Puerto Rico.”
Andrés Ramirez Molina directs the $1m Belle Films production. Mullen, like the other three pitchers, is in Buenos Aires to meet potential co-production partners and sales agents.
Maria Powland introduced the Cuban drama Sharing Stella, about a director searching for a lead actress for his production of A Streetcar Named Desire.
