Emiliano De Pablos Spain’s Morena, Mediacrest and Estrategia Audiovisual are joining forces with Italy’s Fandango on “The Sleeper,” a thriller doc following an alleged Caravaggio painting, directed by producer-helmer Álvaro Longoria.
Rome-based Fandango also handles international sales rights. It is attending the EFM. Based on an original story created by Morena co-founder Longoria, Mediacrest’s Gerardo Olivares and Estrategia Audiovisual’s Ricardo Fernández-Deu, the project started production at the end of 2023, and is being shot in Madrid, London and several cities in Italy.
Guided by art dealer Jorge Coll, “The Sleeper” tells the journey of a piece of art that goes from a house’s living room in Madrid to making headlines worldwide in light of the possibility that it could be a lost painting by Italian Baroque master Caravaggio. “You can’t ask for a better thriller plot,” Longoria told Variety. “The world of art is fascinating and somewhat obscure.
The variables that affect the artistic versus economic value of a painting are plenty and this has always fascinated me.” The doc marks Longoria’s return to directing.
