L-R Sebastián Hernández (Producer Cuatro Ojos), Mauricio Leiva Cock (writer-director), Florencia Gil (sales agent Urban Sales), Juan Manuel Betancourt (Producer Cuatro Ojos), Frédéric Corvez (Urban Factory, co-producer) France’s Urban Factory and Mexico’s Fidelio Films have boarded Colombian filmmaker Mauricio Leiva-Cock’s psychological thriller “Los Eastman,” selected for the Fantastic Round Robin at Cannes’ Fantastic Pavilion.
According to Urban Factory’s Frédéric Corvez, they discovered the project during Colombia’s BAM Producers Meeting, where partner Florencia Gil served as a mentor. “This project stood out from the rest for its ambition and approach. It is rare and exciting to read a true page-turner. Mauricio masterfully uses elements of horror to portray and expose toxic class struggle — which, in my view, lies at the very heart of the genre.”
