Over 70 million visitors from 195 countries and 50 international organizations take part in Expo 2010 Shanghai
A stereoscopic video to be projected in 3D co-produced by Colombian Brash 3D and Grito Producciones is screening in the United Nations Creative Industries pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo, considered the largest event of its kind in history. "The Ministry of Culture and National Department of Planning (DNP) brought the video to the UN pavilion where it is showing on three of the five screens in the creative industries area. We are honored to be sharing this space with only one other video, from Brazil. I've made several trips to watch the peoples' reactions, and the video certainly gets a reaction. It has been so successful that it will continue to screen until the end of the World Expo," writes the film's executive producer Luis Martinez of Brash 3D from China for LOCATION COLOMBIA. Expo 2010 Shanghai runs from May 1 through October 31, 2010.

Familiarization Trip Sponsored by the Bogotá Audiovisual Market (BAM)
In early July, in Bogotá and then in Cartagena de Indias, a familiarization trip (Fam Trip) was offered to international producers attending the first Bogotá Audiovisual Market (BAM). Key executives on the trip included representatives from international companies such as 20th Century Fox, Paramount and Disney and independent producers from Goldcrest and Yari Film Group. Visitors scheduled appointments in Bogotá with Colombian companies during the BAM and toured the country's audiovisual infrastructure in studios run by Fox-Telecolombia, RCN Televisión and Caracol Televisión and at Congo Films where they got a first hand look at equipment available in our country. Later, some of the visitors took a three-day trip to the city of Cartagena, Colombia's most popular location for international productions, and toured a number of sites. The Fam Trip was organized by the Colombian Film Commission (CFC), the Film Development Fund (FDC) and the Ministry of Culture, with support from the Cartagena Tourism Corporation and Cotelco Cartagena.

Quique Mendoza, Colombian Star of "Lost Bullets"

Born August 28, 1974 in Bogotá, Mendoza grew up in Venezuela, where he lived 11 years before traveling to the US to live in Los Angeles and Miami. He returned to Colombia when he was 15. His first theater role was Oedipus. In 1997 he was cast in "Rap Opera" (8 characters on stage besides musicians) and the success of the show took him on his first national and international tour where he visited Holland, Germany and Denmark, appearing on stages ranging from prisons to the 3,000-seat Odin Theater in Copenhagen. His TV work includes "Perro amor", "La saga: negocio de familia", "El ventilador", "El último matrimonio feliz", "Rosario Tijeras" and "Los caballeros las prefieren brutas" for Sony Entertainment Latin America. While working in TV he also studied acting, documentary filmmaking, direction of actors, character creation and film and reality in Mexico and Argentina, which helped him create his own personal technique used in short and feature films including Los dolientes, Bogotá 2016, Moñona, Las cartas al gordo, El amor en los tiempo del cólera, Hace un instante, and La sangre y la lluvia and Lost Bullets in which he stars.

testimonio

monoghose.jpg
Mono Ghose (right)

We flew to Colombia with very limited resources and finance, we had 5 UK based professionals working for Mavericks Film London who flew to Bogota in late February 2010. We had 9 days of pre-production and casting, 5 days shoot between Bogota and a little village called Tobia, and we then flew immediately back to the UK with an 8 week post production turnaround before the Cannes and London screenings in May/June 2010… The cast and majority of the crew and equipment was Colombian. We had a fantastic relationship with the local cast and crew, all highly professional, efficient and talented. We also got some great actors – some superb natural child actors from Ciudad Bolivar drama workshops and a couple of notable names as the leads, such as Quique Mendoza and Weimar Delgado who were skilful and very committed individuals to work with… We would definitely enjoy coming back to shoot in Colombia again and actually already have a few projects we are developing in London that we hope to film there. Lost Bullets Short Film is just the first step on the exciting journey we have begun and we look forward to what is next in our Colombian story.

Mono Ghose, Writer and Director Lost Bullets short-film.
