GUADALAJARA, JALISCO (28 / Sep / 2015) .- Make children’s television is easy. Make intelligent children’s television, with proposal and to be able to endure beyond the flashy, is another matter. It is the latter which is betting Patricia Arriaga, producer today debuts the “Kin” series, through signal Canal Once, at 16:30.
“Kin” breaks the mold series children. In fact, Patricia likes to consider the issue as an experiment where you will see how far you can bet on a formula -and sumar- unexplored, as is television designed especially for children, “has two key elements – interviewees explained, Mayan history and the violence that exists in our country. “
Joaquin fascinated with the culture, the child is the center of history, which will be the victim of bullying ‘. And it is this situation that will unleash a story that moves between drama and fantasy.
The historical section explains Arriaga “has much to do with my interest in doing something with the culture, which is very rich. A historian friend told me about Pakal (Maya ruler), who ascended the throne at age 12, what I think may be of interest to children. “
And the second thing has to do with another element Contemporary: “Violence, that plaguing the country and that is everywhere. It has a presence in the news, on the streets. And nobody thinks about how children also face a particular problem processed. The bullying “
The new wave of viewers
The reality of children’s series has changed dramatically in recent years. For Patricia, whose experience in this field spanning several decades (he is the creator of classical concepts as “Bizbirije” and “couch Valentina”), children’s television is done without really thinking about them.
“The children 10 or 11 years are not children’s programs, because they feel they are dull or boring. They are very engaged with adult dramas, “explains Patricia, and it was this context that fastened the” focus “to shape” Kin “.
The experiment is producing include the point view having children on violence, with the culture. “It gives us results in a children’s series, but adult structure, with a strong character development, tension at the end of each episode, stories that intersect. It is not like anything to be done now. That’s why I call it experimental. ”
With six months of recording in different locations (including the Yucatan jungle), “Kin” seeks to become a turning point when it comes to children’s series, but how far will you get? “It does not depend on me, but on Canal Once,” says Arriaga, “I’m putting to continue and deepen the plot, but the final word on whether or not followed, the Canal and has the audience,”
CHILDREN OF STEEL
“They are young children and had to film in caves”
Patricia Arriaga had the perfect story and production. The last ingredient was cast, and she claims that hit the spot. “It was splendid, both for children and adults we work with are all very good and talented.”
Matias del Castillo (Joaquin), David Caro Levy (Hector), Rodolfo Calderon (Faust) and Alejandra Lafuente (Emilia) children are part of the story.
The producer recognizes that the shooting was heavy for all, especially for the little ones: “It is difficult to work with children, especially because they are tired because they are little ones. For example, Matthias, who made a ‘Kin’, often had to roll all wet, or caves, or in the jungle, because she loved the role. And of course, he was one of many who fought. But in the end, rather than children or adults, I worked with professionals. “
Between two lands
” Kin “tells the story of a boy passion for culture named Joaquin (“Kin”), who said interest and knowledge will carry the animosity of his colleagues, who decided to play a very bad joke, consisting of simulating a human sacrifice in a cave, where the victim is neither more nor less than the Joaquín own.
However, what no one knows is that doing so will trigger a series of unexpected events and full of mystery. The simulation takes sacrifice “Kin” to the past, specifically the seventh century, which should help a Pakal 12 years to ascend the throne.
