The Mediapro Studio Argentina, one of the production wings of the Barcelona-based Mediapro Group, is partnering with Vice Studios to co-produce The Cliff (El Acantilado), a crime thriller series set in Patagonia.
The show has been created by Martin Hodara – who directed 2017 crime feature Black Snow starring Ricardo Darín – alongside Tomas Coste and Enrique Videla. It will shoot on location in Chile.
Taking place in a small town in Patagonia (a region covering the southernmost tip of South America) where the suicides of several teenagers have shaken local residents, The Cliff follows the families of those affected seeking justice while authorities cover up crimes behind the deaths to avoid political consequences.
The project has been supported by a development award from the Argentine National Film Board. Nacho Gil will serve as executive producer, with Maximiliano Sanguine and Jimena Hernandez as executive co-producers.
The wider Mediapro Group has 58 offices across four continents,...

Released in its native Argentina this past January, Black Snow (Nieve Negra) has been steadily opening in other South American territories over the past few months and will open in Brazil on June 8.

Making his solo directorial debut in Black Snow -- back in 2000, he was assistant director on Fabian Bielinsky’s scam classic Nine Queens, and later co-directed The Signal with Ricardo Darin -- Martin Hodara can’t go too far wrong, since the film's cast features the charismatic likes of Darin, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Federico Luppi and Dolores Fonzi. But though it burns as slowly and intensely as a cabin log fire over its first hour, narrative confusion and implausibility strike over the final run, and it’s that wobbly final stretch that will linger in viewers’ minds, making Snow a less chilling experience than it...
