A news-filled week brings along the ninth episode of Mrs. Carrington.
The murder of Lorenzo has divided the Carrington Mansion. What will Leona do? Will Chumina be able to overcome her loss? What happened to the Mistress? New characters and revealing confidences will produce heart attacks… guaranteed!
But in case of need, you may always have the nurse take a look at you…
“Confidences” is the longest and most complex episode so far, not to be missed!
Tagged MrsCarringtonThe latest issue of Spanish-language online fanzine El Impostor focuses on independent productions, and includes an interview with Fidel Martínez (director) and myself (writer) on Mrs. Carrington.
The interview can be found here.

Finally, the project that has kept me busy for the last month sees the light: a short for the “A film by…” section of the NoTodo Film Festival.
You can now view The Missing Husband and of course leave your comments on the festival’s website by clicking on the “Your Review” button. Enjoy!
Several hundred short films are already competing for a variety of awards at the NoTodoFilmFest, but one section is still open to participants. In “A film by… Alejandro Amenábar“, the renowned director sets up a premise from which each participant can develop their own story in a maximum time of three minutes and thirty seconds.
This year I take part in a Notodo for the first, with not one but two films. The first one is a project by my partner Günther Plitt in which I ended up involved to the core – to the point that it’s finished even before my own. It’s called Goodbye Myra and it’s already available at the website of the festival.
We’ll be expecting your comments!

Spanish TV channel Cuatro has invited LOST fans to create posters for the 6th season of the show using only their own graphic material. I came up with the image you can see here. The text reads: “LOST. SEASON 6. EXECUTE.”
At the time of writing, the poster presides the selection of favourites of the website.
Additionally, if nothing goes wrong, the image will be published this weekend, along with other selected fan-made posters, on EP3, the cultural suplement of the national newspaper El País.
To celebrate the little happy event, I’ve open a small new section of the site devoted to my published graphic works.
In the meantime, the contest is still open and you may wish to take part or vote for my image.
Tagged PrensaWith the new year I’ve restarted and redesigned one of my favourite (and more useless) sections of the site: Offline. I use it as an inventory of the cultural products I use: books, movies, music, games, etc. For what purpose? None of importance, but several minor ones, from keeping track to showing what I like. I also use it for the Spanish-language creative writing workshop: it keeps my memory fresh when looking for examples to illustrate the lessons, and it also tells participants which titles I know and can discuss.
Hope you like – but if you don’t… that’s fine, I have so much fun updating it anyway ;-D Happy new year!

Mrs. Carrington, the most glamorous (and most camp) show on the internet keeps generating news, appearing on several local newspapers this week (see the articles on Granada Hoy from Saturday and today or the front page today at Ideal.es).
As reported in these articles, the show will be screened in Granada tonight as a special montage including the premiere of the eighth episode, which will be available online very soon this week.
Yesterday was also the day chosen for the shooting of the new Christmas Special, adding a new cameo to our evergrowing list of guest stars, of which we are so proud. This special episode will be available online in only a few days! Update: the Christmas Special is being edited against the clock so it can be screened tonight as well!
And finally we have announced the great secret we had been keeping fro so long: superstar Alaska will be starring on the show. The shooting will take place next week and her character will play an important role in the Leona’s plots towards the end of the season. Alaska is the most significant figure in the cultural movement of Madrid’s “movida”, has worked with Almodóvar and keeps an active and succesful career as a singer with her band Fangoria. Stay tuned!

We already mentioned that Mrs. Carrington aroused a great deal of interest in the Market section of the LesGaiCineMad festival last month. Well, those contacts have proven fruitful. We have signed a deal with Phillipe Tasca of Rendez-vous Pictures to take care of worldwide distribution for the series.
This could mean all kind of changes (hopefully for the better) in the show’s future, and especially a greater commercial visibility. What will the destiny bring? We’ll leave that on Phillipe’s hands as we focus on shotting the final scenes for this first season. By the way, have you already tried to guess who died in episode 7?
In the photo, Phillipe and me at the bar Los Gatos in Madrid, after and aboundant and delicious tapas lunch and a friendly conversation on the commercial possibilities of the series.
Tagged festivales, MrsCarringtonI’m still in Madrid doing promotion for Mrs. Carrington at the 1st LesGaiCineMad Spanish LGBT Film Market. Several international distributors have already shown their interest in our work, so we’re really glad with the first initial response.
Here are some images from Tuesday’s PhotoCall.
