Maeve Jinkings, Bárbara Colen, Márcio Vito Attached to Star in Brazilian Bam Buzz Title ‘Mesopotamia’ (Exclusive)
Maeve Jinkings, Bárbara Colen and Márcio Vito, three of the finest Brazilian actors of their generation, are set to star in “Mesopotamia.”
Director Andy Malafaia’s feature debut, “Mesopotamia” is set up at Brazil’s Druzina Content and Plano B Filmes, the companies behind “Five Types of Fear,” a best film winner at Gramado Fest which was boarded by Viola Davis’ Ashé as executive producer.
A multi-layered drama thriller, “Mesopotamia” weighs in as potentially one of the most powerful projects at Bam, with an eye-catching cast and resonant drama.
This is set in 1974 rural Brazil under military dictatorship, where the fragile balance of couple Jorge and Mariângela, facing expropriation of their land for the construction of a hydroelectric dam, is further shaken by the unexpected intimacy between Mariângela and Jorge’s sister.
Jinkings, who featured in Walter Salles’ “I’m Still Here,” starred in “Neighbouring Sounds” and “Aquarius,” the 2012 feature debut
