Who's involved
FiGa Films is a boutique sales agency that specializes in film distribution and international market sales. The film is written and directed by Joaquín, a Guatemalan filmmaker.

More context
TIFF's Discovery sidebar is a prominent venue for international and emerging filmmakers to gain exposure to distributors, press, and industry buyers. Securing distribution rights ahead of a major festival premiere is a strategic move that allows sales agencies to capitalize on festival buzz and critical attention. Guatemala has limited presence in global film markets, making international representation crucial for local productions seeking wider theatrical and streaming distribution. FiGa Films' acquisition signals growing industry interest in Latin American cinema beyond traditional production hubs.
