When a production company chooses to return, it is recognising a positive experience that generates employment, economic activity and new opportunities for the local audiovisual sector.\u201d<\/p>\n The film combines suspense, emotion and science fiction in a visually ambitious and narratively compelling project. Fuerteventura\u2019s volcanic landscapes, exceptional natural light and diverse scenery play a central role in the story, becoming one of the film\u2019s main settings.<\/p>\n The project is led by Gonzalo L\u00f3pez-Gallego<\/b><\/span>, director, screenwriter and producer, widely regarded as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Spanish cinema.<\/p>\n The cast is headed by Andr\u00e9s Gertr\u00fadix<\/b><\/span>, one of Spain\u2019s most respected and versatile actors, with an extensive career spanning film, television and theatre.<\/p>\n The crew also includes Yraya Perdomo<\/b><\/span> as First Assistant Director and Script Supervisor. Perdomo has worked on numerous national and international productions filmed in the Canary Islands and specialises in production coordination and audiovisual team management.<\/p>\n The film\u2019s cinematography is overseen by Jos\u00e9 David Montero<\/b><\/span>, whose work is recognised for its visual sensitivity and ability to create powerful cinematic atmospheres through light and visual storytelling, key elements in the film\u2019s aesthetic identity.<\/p>\n Production is led by Mantarraya Films<\/b><\/span>, an independent production company committed to developing high-quality cinematic projects with a strong focus on innovation and artistic excellence.<\/p>\n Following this initial stage of filming in Fuerteventura, production will continue in other locations across the Canary Islands and in Asturias<\/b><\/span>, before returning to Fuerteventura at the end of the summer, where an important part of the shoot will be completed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Director of American Star Returns to Fuerteventura to Film His New Feature Director Gonzalo L\u00f3pez-Gallego has returned to Fuerteventura […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4158,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[244],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-filming"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nA Highly Experienced Creative Team<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
