María Elisa Camargo is preparing for a special first…
The 38-year-old Colombian-Ecuadorian actress will make her English-language debut in the action-thriller Off The Grid, starring Josh Duhamel and Greg Kinnear.
In the film, a scientist (Duhamel) steals an experiment and hides off the grid in Europe to prevent it from becoming weaponized. His former research partner (Kinnear), along with an extraction team, is sent in to find him and locate the missing experiment.
Camargo plays Josey, a resilient Colombian immigrant who runs a bed and breakfast with her parents and works as a bartender in the local bar, where her sharp wit have made her a beloved figure in the community.
Red Sea Media is handling sales on the film.
Directed by Johnny Martin, the film is being produced by Luca Matrundola and Richard Salvatore and is executive-produced by Red Sea’s Roman Kopelevich.
The film is currently in post-production. Grindstone has taken domestic rights.
The supporting cast also includes Anna Golja and Michael Papajohn. Production companies also include BondIt, Buffalo 8 and Latigo.
Former X Factor Colombia contestant Camargo is known for leads in Spanish-language series for Televisa, Telemundo, VIX, Amazon and Netflix.
