"Our first film gave us great satisfactions and we want to continue promoting artists from around the world and show that is possible to do things in a sensitive, more human way and to create synergies. In Lucía Films we want everyone to do what he or she does best," the producer said. Michel Franco was accompanied by actress Johanna Murillo, and directors Victoria Franco, Jorge Hernández and Michael Rowe, who will develop different projects with the support of Lucía Films. "As directors it is very difficult to get projects started, and Lucía Films is the possibility of fulfilling a dream of concentrating myself on my projects and those of other directors who I respect a great deal. It means to stop worrying so that I can dedicate myself to what I like doing the most," said Franco, winner of the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Festival, for his second film Después de Lucía. The projects that Lucía Films are developing include: Estrella gitana, directed by Tony Gatlif and written by Mauricio Katz; Hotel Garage, a series written and directed by Michael Rowe; A los ojos, directed by Michel and Victoria Franco, involving both documentary and fiction; 600 millas, directed and produced by Gabriel Ripstein, with a screenplay by Issa López; Los herederos, by Jorge Hernández Aldana with a screenplay by Gabriel Nuncio, and Áncora, a documentary directed by Victoria Franco. Lucía Films will also dedicated itself to distributing "films that we especially like and that take a long time to come to Mexico," said producer Moises Zonana.
