UK Lupus Films and WestEnd Films launched the hand-drawn animated film Las Dos Fridas
15 June 2023
Lupus Films and the London-based sales firm WestEnd Films have announced their collaboration on their upcoming hand-drawn animated film, Las Dos Fridas, on the life of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
Las Dos Fridas will be written and directed by Mexican-born, BAFTA Award-winning writer and director Paloma Baeza (Poles Apart, The House), and will examine the factors that have kept Kahlo's appeal even 65 years after her passing.
“We are delighted to be working with the talented team at Lupus Films, we have long admired their imaginative and moving adult animations,” said Maya Amsellem, Co-Founder of WestEnd Films. “Paloma is a real talent and together they are the perfect team to paint a picture of this inspirational icon of female creativity, the film will be as raw and honest as Frida’s own biographical paintings.”
Lupus Films Co-Founder Deakin agreed, “We are really excited to have WestEnd Films aboard this very special project. Like us, they are a female owned and led company and their reputation of working with female talent across an incredibly diverse set of feature films speaks for itself. We are thrilled that they are as excited by the creative potential of Las Dos Fridas as we are.”
