Chile’s Clara Films and Barcelona-based VFX studio Unbound Hub have forged a strategic development pact for the upcoming dystopian TV series, “Numana.”
Created by Argentine writers Jesica Arán (“Pájaros Negros”) and Soledad Velasco (Disney+’s “Dreaming High”), the project participated at Conecta Fiction’s High End Pitch session.
“We are thrilled to partner with Unbound Hub in the development of ‘Numana,’” said producer Clara Larrain of Clara Films.
“Nowadays, investors fear unpredictable budgets that a series like this can mean, so having Unbound Hub on board this early will be instrumental not only in bringing our dystopian vision to life, but in reducing risk.”
“Together, we aim to create an immersive and captivating viewing experience that will maximize production value and simplify our VFX journey,” she added.
“Numana” is set in the year 2069 when babies are made on demand by an all-powerful company called Numana. Alex and Mia are among those babies-on-demand.
