Conchita Airoldi – Producer
We are at the beginning of week 7 —on eight plus one week shooting in Columbia, since the film starts in South-America because the main character, a terrorist, lives in Nicaragua and participates to the Sandinist guerilla. The total cost of this film is € 4,3M.
I managed to get the French company Wild Bunch involved very early on. I showed them the book and no sooner had they read it than they told me they wanted to either co-produce the film or handle international sales —for that matter, they gave us quite a nice garanteed minimum as sellers.
Then I relied on Italy and asked for a garantee fund; it took some time, because of the new law, but I eventually got it, after which Rai Cinema joined us as co-producer and broadcaster.
I think Mikado will start distributing the film at the end of February or the beginning of March.
