Is summer almost over? Where did the first half of 2010 go!? Kudos to director Angel Gracia, who finally has picture lock (i.e. closure, also known as a completely finished edit) on his feature, From Prada to Nada. It scored ridiculously high with test audiences and is scheduled to hit theaters in early 2011.
Congrats are also due to Aaron Burns for wrapping Blacktino, his directorial debut. The film was shot in Austin, Texas and features Danny Trejo (Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy), Daryl Sabara (Spy Kids), a few surprise stars and talented newcomers Austin Marshall, Devyn Ray, Tiger Sheu and Denise Williamson.
Ted Melfi's shorts Roshambo and I Want Candy have been selected by Film Independent (IFP) as two of their Movies of the Month. The former is a mockumentary about the cut-throat world of competitive Rock, Paper, Scissors; the latter follows a family looking for the "perfect" nanny.
As a company, The Cortez Brothers is extremely pleased to announce that we're filming a 13-part television series. We can't give many details except to say that it's English-language, Latin-flavored, the pilot is in the can, and we're quite literally foaming at the mouth thinking about upcoming episodes.
We've reached the 100+ mark on webisodes for our much-loved and ever-evolving AARP project. On the commercial end of things, we've very happily shot spots for wireless carriers, music video channels, department stores and delicious, delicious beer. If you see an awesome Public Service Announcement for the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, that would be us (together with the good folks at Adrenalina).
Finally, a treat for those of you who paid attention in Spanish 101 or are lucky enough to be native Argentine Spanish speakers... this is a ridiculously funny new spot from our director Hernán Almar. If you don't speak español, just revel in the absurdity of Scot-Argentines wearing kilts while riding moonwalking minature ponies.
