“The film will also be placed on Amazon Prime Video US and Latin America, the same as other Colombian and Venezuelan films of our own, and under our representation in common handling with Ammo Content -Huellas by the Colombian director and actor Carlos Vergara, Aquel Septiembre by the director Tania Cardona Díaz, and La Gran Pelea, by the Venezuelan director Luis Ceraza-. These three were recently launched on Amazon Prime in the region,” commented Max Henríquez Camargo, Executive Producer and Director of Digital Content at Renovatio Films and Matacha Films.
