The Match Factory recently acquired the international rights for Amat Escalante’s new feature “Untamed,” also produced by Mantarraya, for which a promo will be released during Cannes. “We have been partners of The Match Factory since Reygadas’ ‘Silent Light’ — a collaboration of more than 10 years with excellent results. We couldn’t be in better hands,” said Romandia, managing director of Mantarraya. “Reygadas is one of the most important voices of Mexican cinema. This absorbing and fascinating story will certainly reach worldwide audiences,” said Michael Weber, managing director of The Match Factory. “Where Life Is Born” tells the story of a beautiful family, which battles to balance the remnants of the old world and the modernity of their existence.
