Fasten Films
At Fasten Films, we aim to tell original stories that entertain, move, and inspire, doing so through the unique perspective of screenwriters and directors with the ambition to creatively transcend. That’s why we produce series and films rooted locally, with a contemporary, diverse, and inclusive approach, aspiring to resonate with a global audience. Stories that unapologetically tackle topics reflecting the concerns and realities of our society.
Currently, we are in the process of production and post-production on projects such as “The Birthday Party” (Miguel Ángel Jiménez, 2025, with Willem Dafoe and Emma Suárez); “The End of It” (Maria Bayona, 2025); “La Gang” (Carol and Marina Rodríguez Colás, 2025); or “Cuatro Amores” (2026, Jorge Dorado). Among the directors we are collaborating with are Adrià García (“Sira”); Maria Rodríguez (“La Primera Bruixa”); Marcel Barrena (“Pizzinato”); Nely Reguera; and Ulises Porra.
Among our recent productions are films awarded at international festivals and distributed worldwide, such as “Mediterráneo” (Marcel Barrena, 2021); “Uno para todos” (David Ilundain, 2020); “Centauro” (Daniel Calparsoro, 2022); “Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell” (Phạm Thiên Ân, 2023); “La Imatge Permanent” (Laura Ferrés, 2023); the non-fiction series “Nisman: The Prosecutor, the President and the Spy” (Justin Webster, 2019); “La Voluntaria” (Nely Reguera, 2022); and “O Corpo Aberto” (Ángeles Huerta, 2022).
