MIAMI, Fl., June, 2019 - SOMOS Films, the film production
company part of SOMOS Group, and Piñolywood Studios, a well-known production
company in Puerto Rico, will co-produce two new movies in this beautiful
island: La Quinceañera de mi Abuela
and Al Revés. These two
co-productions, starting in July, will be part of the portfolio of the new
SOMOS Group’s film production company, which already includes three finished
movies (two already released in theaters) and three more in different stages of
production.
La Quinceañera de mi Abuela is a family comedy that tells the story
of Sonia and her loving grandmother, Georgina. Sonia decides to plan a big
party for her grandma and will experience unpredictable situations that usually
occur during the planning of a big event, not knowing that she will have to
deal with the personal relationship among the guests, who no longer are young
and energetic. Al Revés is the
romantic story of Lourdes, a woman that has survived making robberies and scams
with her partner Miguel. Both decide to make a last robbery in Puerto Rico and
move for good to New York. Unfortunately, things don’t go well and Lourdes is
arrested, while Miguel escapes.
Luis Villanueva, President and CEO of SOMOS Films stated: “these
two co-productions with Piñolywood Studios represent two popular genres in the
Latino audience, comedy and romcom. Puerto Rico offers significant additional
benefits such as talent, expertise and financial incentives to produce movies.
Our partner Carlos Nido has produced box office successes from the island, and
we’re sure that this venture is just the beginning of a very productive
business relationship.” Both productions will have Ivanna Villanueva as
Executive Producer and she expressed her satisfaction: “I’m sure that we’ll
make a good team with Piñolywood. We’ll be involved in all the steps of these
productions, and I’m certain that this association will open many doors for
more of these projects. Caribbean comedies are quite successful in all
audiences”
Carlos Nido, President of Piñolywood Studios stated: “it’s a
pleasure to work in these two productions with SOMOS Group. This combination of
two successful teams will increase the quality and exposure of these film
projects throughout the world.”
