Costa Rica’s Hilda Hidalgo, best known for her lauded adaptation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novel “Of Love and Other Demons” and drama “Violeta at Last” is plunging back into fiction filmmaking with “Cousins” (“Primas”), where she teams up once again with “Violeta at Last” producer Emi Kodo, DP Nicolás Wong, a Costa Rican Variety Below-The-Line Talent to Track last year, and art director Olga Madrigal.

Taking a page from her past documentaries, Hidalgo will give a hybrid treatment to “Cousins” where her young leads will turn cameras on themselves in some scenes.
