Mysteries and seams woman – The World

“Television is female,” believes Goyo Quintana, CEO of Boomerang TV fiction. The production company that launched the Greyhound TV detective, The Mysteries of Laura , and Sira Quiroga, The time between seams , is delayed when to clarify the identity Tania, star of The incident . In the last TV market in Cannes, MIPCOM, French and US operators have also asked about the project.

As a first question arises … what is the incident? “We have strictly forbidden tell” warns Etura, who plays the lead role. “I can also say a lot,” another of the actresses, Pepa Aniorte apologizes, the forester of the series. “My character is the unknown,” excuse Barbara Lennie, who plays a young newcomer to a town baffled by an unexplained event.

The answer is the high concept [high definition], “an event that draws the characters and their plots, usually a concept that is not linked to manners , but a higher level,” says Sonia Martinez, director Atresmedia fiction. Something strange in principle impossible, brand history; a landing on an unknown island, in the case of Lost ; minutes of anyone save memory, in Flashforward ; the disappearance of a large portion of the world population, The Leftovers . Examples abound.

“ The incident is based on personal experience,” says El Mundo cautious Ruth Garcia, creator of fiction and screenplays coordinator. “All the female characters are strong, none will tow male,” he adds. Quintana warns: “Woman is a much deeper hole to dig that man”

Pepa Aniorte, right.

“ Unfortunately, now the film has very few female characters;. on TV, they do exist I guess this happens because in the film 90% of the writers are men that are almost always interested in talking about men in the series, the female characters are in. the same dimension as the male, perhaps in part because the chains will reach all audiences, “explains Etura on his return to television production after Wind Water . “The two films I was offered this fall seemed less interesting than this series,” openly acknowledged.

That commitment is doubled in view of the secrecy surrounding the story. After the first month of recordings in the Madrid town of Cercedilla, even the core enjoys sharing more information than necessary. “Actors do not know the end, only have indicative for their dramatic arcs, nor know the causes of the incident,” said Emilio Pina, executive producer of the series.

Yes Etura know there beginning and conclusion. It is enough. “I do not get into a series that has no end, because I have the luck to have other projects … One of the reasons why I said that it is for beginning and find that there was no end,” says the actress, who advocates condense the series everything: “I think it will not last more than two seasons I even like that lasted just one The longer a series lengthens more ends up turning into a soap opera..”

The mystery as part of a hybrid genre has already been settled in the Spanish production. Antena 3 premiere soon Under Suspicion ; Sixth, Refugee . “This serves a maturity of not only the TVs and producers, but also the spectators. We’ve grown a lot on TV in their betting techniques. This series will be an example,” says Etura.

“The camera becomes a point of view of the threat, stalking, to strengthen the tension and mystery. We used very lightweight machinery that enables us to impossible levels. The camera is sometimes air, it’s in a tree or sometimes even from underwater point of view we will reinforce the impression that the characters are on the brink of danger, “attests Pineda. Quintana throws two figures: 1,400 meters shooting and 65% of outer planes in the footage, well above the average. Up there, in a remote place, something happens. No wonder they call it high concept .

Boomerang Antena 3 TV and wanted to illustrate event with free faces television apparent links. “Everything happens in a remote village. To keep the mystery and credibility, the viewer must be clean, believe the characters, without relating them to others,” says Etura, usually away from the small screen. The responsibility of casting went to Yolanda Serrano and Eva Leira, cazatelentos who chose the cast of Eight Basque surnames , The child and minimum island , three of the most outstanding films of the year. The origins are motley: Juan Davila (Ribero in The incident ), convinced them a comic monologue in the series but confronts a dramatic role; Diego Martin (Nacho in the series) works as a singer as well as actor.
