DESDE ADENTRO: A Documentary Feature Film

Greetings to all! 

We are in the last stage of post-production of the film DESDE ADENTRO where we work on the color grading, sound design and musical composition. Taking into consideration the operational budget of La Maraña, the non-profit organization that produced the film, we are initiating a fundraising campaign to defray the costs of exhibiting the film, in addition to previous unpaid production expenses. Thanks to the solidarity and commitment to the piece, some Post-Production technicians have agreed to work through the concept of deferred payment. This fundraising campaign will allow us to cover all the needs and complete a high quality product. 

This piece is scheduled to be finished in December of this year and to premiere in March 2024 on the 10th anniversary of La Maraña.

La Maraña is a non-profit organization that since 2014 has been a key organization to strengthen and promote the just transition of Puerto Rican communities towards more livable, participatory and sustainable environments, facilitating the insertion of citizens in decision-making processes. Part of La Maraña's mission is also to provoke conversations about pressing social issues, which makes this documentary a powerful tool for creating spaces for dialogue. 

The film will have a tour of screenings, events and community conversations throughout the archipelago of Puerto Rico, creating fertile ground to continue expanding and connecting different groups, organizations and citizens towards the collective well-being of the country. 

Thank you very much for your attention, 

La Maraña

We are very happy to announce that we have reached Picture Lock and are excited to continue with the other post-production processes. As we mentioned in the previous report, we now proceed with the simultaneous phase of sound design, music composition, and colorization. The sound design is being led by Adriana Santiago from Mexico, the musical composition by Alain Emile from Puerto Rico and color by Leonardo Fallas from Costa Rica.  A very talented and skillfull team! At the same time, we are still in the process of obtaining the licenses of the archival music that feature in the film with the producer Karina Cruz of Puerto Rico. In addition, we have already started the design of all the graphic elements of the film, including the poster. This process is led by Puerto Rican artist Reinaldo Cabanillas. 

While these post-production processes continue, the Associate Producer Arleen Cruz is helping to map out a plan for future fundraising, exposure and distribution events for the film to begin in January 2024.

It's been one year of work in Mexico since the second phase of editing started, and the goal has never been closer. December is going to be a month of celebration of all the hard work all the team put into it. Its going to be a beautiful film.
