With the Grand Auditorium of the Palais des Festivals in Cannes packed to capacity, Zorro was presented yesterday in a special screening for the industry accredited at Mipcom/Cannes. The blockbuster by Secuoya Studios, distributed by Mediawan Rights, opened the 39th edition of the largest audiovisual market in the world on Sunday, in an event that was supported by a large part of the industry and the specialized press.
This special broadcast was later completed with a brief discussion, in which Sergio Pizzolante, executive producer and president of the Commercial & Distribution division of Secuoya Studios, and three of its protagonists participated: Miguel Bernardeau, who plays the mythical masked hero, Renata Notni, in the role of Lolita Márquez, and Dalia Xiuhcoatl as the indigenous Nah-Lin.

“We are happy with the enormous reception of this first special viewing of Zorro in the largest audiovisual market in the world, which brings together buyers, professionals, executives and producers from more than 40 countries. The industry response credited to Mipcom confirms our absolute confidence in this modernized version of a classic IP, a bold reinterpretation of the iconic masked hero that we are convinced will appeal to audiences around the world. Likewise, productions as ambitious as Zorro would not be possible without TVE’s support and promotion of the great Spanish series for the global market,” said Raúl Berdonés, executive president of Secuoya Content Group.
“Zorro is the demonstration of our commitment to create, produce and distribute premium content in Spanish for the world. We did not want to do a Spanish show, but rather a global show in Spanish speaking,” Sergio Pizzolante stressed.
