When he began thinking about his second feature film four years ago, Solleric filmmaker Guillem Miró envisioned it as a 100% Balearic production. "My intention was to shoot it entirely here, with a local team of professionals. We already had the locations and everything," the director explains a few days before the premiere—on August 1—of the film, titled Mario and included in the official national section of the Atlántida Mallorca Film Fest. "Shortly before starting filming, we had to change our plans. Since the budgets we work with here are so low, when a production company from outside comes in, which in our case was from Valencia, they have more leverage and more room to negotiate the terms of the co-production. So in the end, we only shot part of it here and part of it abroad, and we also had a part of it, and we also had a part of it, and we also had a part of it, and we also had a part of it, and we also had a part of it, and we also had a part of it, and we also had a part of it."
