Henderson/Los Angeles-based Global Genesis Group (GGG) has picked up worldwide distribution rights to Dominican filmmaker Leticia Tonos’ latest film, “A State of Madness” (“Mis 500 Locos”). Set in …
Set in 1953, the drama is based on the memoir of Dr. Antonio Zaglul, considered the father of Dominican psychiatry, who wrote about his experience in running a mental institution during the brutal dictatorship of President Rafael Leonidas Trujillo.
“Tonos is an amazing director, and we’re thrilled to start a relationship with such a talented filmmaker whose eye for storytelling, characters and visuals deserves to be recognized,” said Charles Morris Jr., VP of Development and Acquisitions at Global Genesis Group. The drama opened the DR Global Film Fest in January and was supposed to go on the festival circuit but the Covid-19 pandemic scuttled those plans. The film will be presented at the March du Cannes as part of GGG’s slate.
Tonos’ upcoming projects explore a diversity of themes and genres, from sci fi drama “Tania, Vida & Azarias” to mystery TV series “Hurakan.” She’s also producing the dark fantasy mystery “Jupia,” set in a nursing home, which participates in the Cannes Marche du Film.
