Writing and directing a Bolivian sitcom pilot

While talking to a friend, one day the idea occurred to me: Why not create a Bolivian sitcom? South America is great at creating telenovelas and news programs, but Latinos in general have generally steered away from comedy. With few exceptions, the entire continent is devoid of sitcoms.

It was a crazy idea, but in the months that followed, I couldn't quite let go of it. I wrote the pilot script, found a producer, hired a director of photography, held three-day casting sessions that resulted in an all-star cast.

Last week, we finished shooting. Editing begins this week. Hopefully, the final product will be finished in January. Here are a few pics from last week's shoot.
