Feel Sales Acquisitions head Yvette de los Santos closed the deal with producer Camila Rodó Carvallo of Pira Films. Directed by Tomás Gonzales Matos, the drama first participated at Sanfic’s Works in Progress section and was later presented at the Cannes Marché du Films last year.
Producer-distributor Storyboard Media, which also runs Sanfic, releases the police procedural in Chile on Aug. 31, said Carvallo, who co-wrote the screenplay with Sebastián Soto Salas.
