Filming Wraps on Los Internacionales

Filming has ended on Los Internacionales, an Argentinian action-drama series co-produced by Viacom International Studios, The Mediapro Studio, Telecom and Olympusat.

Set during Argentina’s political and economic crisis of 2001, the series stars Cecilia Roth and Juan Pablo Shuk. Los Internacionales will be released this year by Telefe and will also be available on-demand through Flow.

Based on Nahuel Gallota’s journalistic novel The Bogotá Connection, Los Internacionales tells the story of a band of Colombian thieves who decide to travel to Argentina to carry out robberies and dismantle the assets of a society going up in flames. In 2001, many Argentines are forced to remove their savings and belongings from banks in the face of the deep political and economic crisis. The crew takes advantage of the chaos to carry out their robberies in apartments and houses, stealing excessive amounts of money and precious jewelry and in the process, becoming legends.

Starring as the protagonists of the story, Roth plays prosecutor Marta Costas and Shuk portrays Fausto, the crew leader. Rafael Ferro, Boy Olmi, Carlos Santamaría, Gustavo Garzón Ramiro Herrera, Sebastián Osorio, Camilo Amores, Christian Vega, Laura Perico and Susana Varela round out the cast, with special cameos from actors Juan Minujín, Nancy Duplaa and Soledad Silveyra.

Los Internacionales began shooting in early September in Bogotá, Colombia and then in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The production involved a team of more than 200 on-set professionals for 65 days, with more than 300 scenes recorded in over 40 different outdoor locations. The eight chapters in the series are directed by directors Martin Hodara (chapters one and two), Pablo Vázquez (chapters three, four and five) and Pablo Ambrosini (chapters six, seven and eight).
