Mexico’s Sula Films has signed on to produce Galerna, a highly anticipated fiction feature directed by Tatiana Huezo. The film recently won the Egeda Platino Industria Award at the San Sebastian Film Festival, a prestigious event held annually in Spain. The award, which recognizes promising projects in the industry, comes with a prize of $34,466 (€30,000), given to the lead producer of the film. Galerna was part of the WIP Latin America competition at San Sebastian, a section dedicated to showcasing works in progress from Latin American filmmakers. This platform allows emerging talent to gain visibility and attract potential investors or distributors. Huezo, a noted director from Paraguay, has previously worked on documentary projects, and Galerna marks her debut in feature film fiction. Sula Films, based in Mexico, is known for supporting and producing Latin American cinema. Their involvement in Galerna suggests a growing interest in backing international co-productions and diverse storytelling. The company has previously worked with directors from various countries, aiming to bring unique narratives to a wider audience. The win at San Sebastian and the backing of Sula Films could significantly boost Galerna’s chances of securing additional funding and distribution deals. As the film moves forward, it will be watched closely by industry professionals and film enthusiasts alike, eager to see how Huezo translates her documentary expertise into a narrative feature.
