ViX announced the start of production of five new ViX original titles in Spain, Colombia, and Mexico, including one feature film, a documentary, and three series. Let’s briefly review each of these titles.
Regarding the films, let's start with "Bodas" (Comedy) – After drifting between various jobs and failed careers, Fannie, a chaotic and dysfunctional young woman who finds the concept of marriage and eternal love absurd, is forced to face her worst nightmare: joining the family business under the strict leadership of her mother, Silvia Curiel, the most prestigious wedding planner in Mexico. The production was led by Máquina Vega. The cast includes Consuelo Duval, Gisselle Kuri, and Paly Duval.
The documentary "The Thin Green Line" explores the quest for justice following the murders of two Mexican teenagers at the U.S.-Mexico border. Both incidents, one in Nogales and the other in Juarez, uncovered a culture of cover-up within the U.S. Border Patrol and exposed how far this federal agency goes in abusing its power. The production was led by La Corriente del Golfo & Alfred Street. Executive producers include Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna, Santiago Maza, Max Cheney, and Jeremy Scott.
Moving on to the series, we have "Memorias de un Sinvergüenza" (Drama/Romance) – Francisco Valiente, the charming and handsome Don Juan of San Vicente, has passed away. From his coffin, he is visited by former lovers and foes, stirring bittersweet memories that unveil his past scandals and secrets. A detective is investigating his murder, and the suspects include his widow Morgana, who made his life a living hell; Alma, the only woman he ever truly loved; and Bernardo, Alma’s husband and a powerful ally of Morgana. However, no one suspects that Alma has a secret plan, one that might shock the funeral guests and even the deceased. Because even though loving a scoundrel is difficult, Alma yearned for a happy ending—a twist to Romeo and Juliet. Will the lovers achieve what Romeo and Juliet never could? The production was led by W Studios and 11:11 Films & TV. The cast includes Manolo Cardona, Carolina Miranda, Erick Elías, and Daniela Álvarez.
We also have "Papá Soltero" (Comedy) – César and Sandra have formed a modern, functional family under the motto of "yours, mine, and ours."
