Elie Samaha’s Luminosity Entertainment and Mike Karz’s Gulfstream Pictures have snagged the worldwide rights to Abner Benaim’s dramatic thriller, “Plaza Catedral.”
This is the first non-English pickup by Luminosity, which was launched in September. “I haven’t represented many, if any, non English-language films but audiences in the U.S. and around the world are demonstrating their interest in content of all nationalities and languages, as evidenced by the success of shows like ‘Lupin,’ ‘Squid Game,’ ‘Roma,’ etc.,” said Diamond, who was previously president of international at QED and Morgan Creek.
Selected from over 250 kids who came to the open casting call held in his Panama City neighborhood, Fernando Xavier De Casta, a non pro, plays the role of Chief. According to Benaim, only months before the release of the film, Xavier De Casta was shot to death. “Reality intruded upon the film in the most tragic way. Fernando’s untimely death is harrowingly symbolic of a fractured society driven by violence and has become an inexorable part of ‘Plaza Catedral’s’ message,” he said.
