As Morbido founder-CEO Pablo Guisa said of this year’s edition: “It has projects from multiple countries, several produced or directed by women as well as one LGBTQ-themed project and, for the first time, a documentary.” Vampire creatures abound in this crop.
Humberto Mazari, the helmer-scribe-producer behind one of the six projects, psychological thriller “The Alaska Summit” (“La Cumbre de Alaska),” is developing three comic book spinoffs which will further delve into the underworld of the summit and the creatures that guard it. “In the coming weeks we expect to consolidate the visual aesthetics with three Latin American illustrators in charge of bringing these comic books to life,” he told Variety. “As Pablo comments, this space continues to grow year by year, and I dare say it houses some of the finest talent in the realm of horror/fantasy genre cinema,” said Gabriela Sandoval, head of Sanfic Industria. “Our Lab is maturing, and the projects we have supported have done so along with it.
