Meanwhile, the film’s director and screenwriter, Enrico Maria Artale, explains that This production is based on the family drama of a woman in which salsa is a key element in her life.
“There is a mother who escaped from Colombia 40 years ago and who is very nostalgic, and all her nostalgia is suppressed by dancing salsa. Among all the regions of Colombia, none would be the fairest to make this film than Cali and the Valley”, said the filmmaker about the film that is tentatively called ‘Julio César’.
The Valle del Cauca producer Diego Ramírez highlighted the support of the Government of Valle del Cauca and the region’s capacity to attract this type of international projects.
“Not only are they going to work with the audiovisual sector, but it will also generate employment in many other sectors such as hotels, tourism, transportation, food, which are the ones that are connected with audiovisual work,” concluded the producer.
