Colombia’s Dynamo, Mexico’s Guannaby Films Join ‘The Last Circus,’ to Be Presented at Iberseries (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comAnna Marie de la Fuente Mexico’s Guannaby Films and Colombia’s Dynamo have joined forces to make “The Last Circus.” Among the 10 feature film projects being presented at Iberseries & Platino Industria’s Co-Production and Financing Forum, it promises “magnetic, complex but fun characters in what is primarily a family tale,” said actor-producer Christian Tappan, co-founding partner of Guannaby Films alongside Luis Emilio Guzmán and Tiago Correa.
Written by Guzman and to be directed by “The Thin Yellow Line” helmer Celso Garcia, “The Last Circus” turns on Gerardo, a gypsy con artist, who has just lost his family’s circus business due to its mounting debt.
A chance to redeem himself comes when he stumbles across the Heart of the Warrior, a priceless gem that has been stolen from a museum.
Unfortunately, the jewel thieves will stop at nothing to recover their prized loot. Garcia describes the project as a family tale “that explores human relationships, unfulfilled promises, and past wounds that have yet to heal.” “Framed within the mystical and enigmatic gypsy circus world, the story does not lose sight of the universal values that heighten it: Loyalty, the need to belong, the pursuit of freedom, family bonds, and the importance of tradition,” he added.
