![]() ![]() Sorogoyen scored an Oscar nomination for “Mother” and has just opened Cannes Premiere title “The Beasts” in France to an around €1.7 million ($1.7 million) box office through late August. Lacuesta and Campo have won together two San Sebastian Gold Shell, for 2012’s “The Double Steps” and 2018’s “Between Two Waters.” Fran Araujo, “Offworld’s” creative coordinator, co-wrote the latter film and executive produced Sorogoyen’s hit series “Riot Police.” In an entirely conscious move, says Domingo Corral, Movistar+ director of original programming, “Offworld” allows Movistar Plus+ to show off its associated talent in the same show. Star creators usually make a series or movie every two-to-three years, however. “There’s a new studio star system…but instead of focusing on acting talent (as it did in the 1930s), it prioritizes those with the skills to create new stories, produce new shows,” Ampere Analysis’ Guy Bisson said at April’s MipTV. Movistar+, in contrast, is pushing its talent to the fore, world premiering “Offworld” at San Sebastián, the biggest festival in the Spanish-speaking world, which is the biggest international market for Spanish series. Some platforms don’t even note the names of creators on their grid presentations of titles, notes Lacuesta. “Balance,” by Isaki Lacuesta, revisits Ernesto’s estranged wife Alice from Episode 1 as she returns to her family estate to work its land hand-in-hand with its immigrant labourers. “Survival,” from Alberto Rodríguez, has a goatherd fleeing ever higher into snowbound mountains, hunted by city types who want to kill him for his goats. In Episode 3, Isa Campo’s “Confrontation.” a daughter of a couple living in a makeshift housing estate community befriends a band of kids who are pilfering food. “Emergency,” directed by Raul Arévalo, turns on Eva, a hospital administrator running out of basic medicine. In Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s “Denial,” workaholic Ernesto is defined by his job as deputy director of Madrid’s Civil Protection and Emergencies Unit who faces off with his superiors to impose a controlled lockdown before general grid failure. Opening close-ups in each episode underscore the protagonists’ initial identities. Produced with Buendía Estudios, “OffWorld” presents five stories which place very different individuals in the same context, a world where there’s no electricity thanks to a massive power outage things taken for granted like phones and the internet don’t work. ![]()
