After the news of the recent alliance closed with the Uruguayan production company Cimarrón, StoryLab has a 2023 full of projects, including original series, adaptations and feature films
The news of the new strategic alliance between StoryLab Argentina and Cimarrón from Uruguay preceded by just a few days the arrival of the Argentine production company to the new edition of LA Screenings Independents, which is taking place this week at the Fairmont Century Plaza hotel in Los Angeles.
“We have just closed a strategic alliance with Cimarrón. The agreement has a three-year term and the objective is to empower both companies,” Eugenia Link, Head of International Co-Production & Business Development at StoryLab, told ttvnews. “StoryLab will be the provider of content and its development, and Cimarrón will use its production and production muscle.”
“The idea is to take advantage of Uruguay as a production hub and take advantage of tax incentives, which are very competitive for the industry today,” she added. “We are defining the projects to face together, but it will probably be a feature film and two fiction series.”
Link, who joined the international business unit of StoryLab at the beginning of the year, stressed the dynamics of the production company in 2023: “We are focused on the development of two original series and the adaptation of an Argentine novel. Also in the development of two feature films: a noir thriller and a comedy, very powerful, but I still can’t reveal the names”.
“This first semester of the year, from January to this part, we were working very hard indoors, with scriptwriters, in the development of these projects,” Link explained. “We spent a lot of time until we felt that the bibles were in the place we needed for the story to be seen and told in the most attractive way possible, always taking care of the writing.”
“We’re only now knocking on doors with those projects looking for both co-producing and screen partners,” she concluded.
