Adrià Monés’ Fasten Films, producer of Cannes-selected “The End of It,” “Strawberries” and “Rehearsals of a Revolution,” has announced a new slate of films led by Catalan talent Mar Coll, Maria M. Bayona, Adrià Garcia and Nely Reguera.
Fasten is also developing debut features from Víctor Alonso-Berbel, Jordi Boquet, Carlos Lechuga and Oriol Pérez, positioning the Barcelona, Madrid and Canary Island-based production house as a driving force in a new-phase and already vibrant Catalan Cinema.
Mar Coll: ‘Dasha’
Col (“Salve María”) is set to direct “Dasha,” “a dream project for us as producers, a mafia thriller and black comedy set in the wild, excessive Lloret de Mar of the 2000s, where entertainment and political tension collide,” said Monés.
“Dasha” also marks “a bold new step for Mar Coll, one of the filmmakers who helped shape a new Catalan cinema, working here with Valentina Viso, one of the key screenwriters in Spanish cinema, and Nataliya Kolesova, an emerging Ukrainian-Russian-Catalan voice with a singular perspective,” Monés added.
