Dominican ‘Sensory’ Drama ‘Beyond the Mist’ Kicks Off Sales With Latin Quarter (EXCLUSIVE)
John Hopewell Chief International Correspondent LOCARNO, Switzerland — The Dominican Republic’s Cronos Films & Production has clinched its first pre-sales deal on “Beyond the Mist,” (“Después de la Niebla”), a flagship example of the company’s drive into what is described as a “sensory cinema” which does not “shy away from the social and political struggles of the Dominican Republic.” In a first distribution deal on the title, brought to market this weekend at Locarno’s Match Me! networking forum, the Hague-based sales-distribution company Latin Quarter has closed all-rights for the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. A burgeoning force on the Latin American, Spanish and Latinx diaspora auteur pic scene, Latin Quarter has a direct distribution operation in the Netherlands, as in the U.K., Germany and Spain.
