Tomás Gonzalez Matos’ latest project is going global…
Madrid-based international sales agency Feel Sales has acquired all worldwide rights, with the exception of Chile, to the Latino filmmaker’s Allanamiento, the investigative police thriller in official competition at the Santiago International Film Festival (Sanfic).
Directed by Gonzalez Matos, the drama first participated at Sanfic’s Works in Progress section and was later presented at the Cannes Marché du Films last year. Producer-distributor Storyboard Media, which also runs Sanfic, releases the police procedural in Chile on August 31, said Camila Rodó Carvallo of Pira Films, who co-wrote the screenplay with Sebastián Soto Salas.
Inspired by actual events, the feature revolves around a case where a deputy commissioner of the investigative police unit asks a fellow commissioner to break into a prosecutor’s office and get rid of recordings that implicate them in drug trafficking, torture and corruption. They have only 48 hours to do the deed.
Given the mainstream appeal of the movie, Feel Sales is eyeing platforms and more exposure on the international festival circuit. With the exponential growth of content-driven SVOD and AVOD platforms worldwide, the company has a plethora of choices.
