Filming of the web series «Escape» begins

The public library of Casa de las Conchas will be the setting tomorrow for the filming of the web series “Escape,” a work produced and directed by Nuria Galache and Mo de la Fuente. Other locations in this city, such as the Adora Calvo art gallery, the Hotel Emperatriz, or the Parador de Salamanca, will join this location. Filming will extend throughout the year and will feature a one hundred percent Salamancan technical and artistic team. The series will be broadcast in episodes online. The plot revolves around a company's search for a supervisor for a group of teleoperators who will provide information about the various events of the VIII Centenary of the University of Salamanca. The different job candidates are not aware that they have reached the final phase of the selection process: escaping an Escape Room.

In this Escape Game, the group of players will have to solve different enigmas related to the history and legends of Salamanca in order to find an incunabulum that has been stolen from the University of Salamanca.

The creators of the series are two professionals from Salamanca's audiovisual production sector:

Nuria Galache, actress and theater director, has been in theater for more than 15 years and has worked with renowned directors such as Jesús Cracio, Josep Rodri, José Luis “Jaro”, Pollux Hernúñez, and José Antonio Sayagües. In 2013, she founded her own company, La Befana, premiering five productions; she is currently on tour with the show “Juego de Reinas”.

Mo de la Fuente, writer and translator, has published three novels. In addition to writing and directing various short films, she is currently the assistant director of La Befana Producciones.

The artistic cast consists of:

Lola Serrano as Mari. A 55-year-old recently separated woman.

Eduardo Joaquín as Guille. An unemployed freelance professional, 28 years old and about to get married.

Raquel Pérez Mateos as Patri. Guille's partner, 25 years old, works as an art gallerist.

Raquel Sevillano as Merche. A 42-year-old woman constantly trying to make ends meet.

Roberto Encinas as Rodrigo. A single man, 50 years old, who lived with his recently deceased mother.

The technical team consists of: Javi de la Fuente, Patricia Calderón, Irene de la Fuente, Eva Maíllo, Óscar de la Fuente, and Purificación Rodríguez.

The original idea and direction of the project belong to Nuria Galache and Mo de la Fuente, and it is produced by La Befana Producciones and Trípoderoto.

“Escape” is the second project launched in the city in web series format; the first work, “Amigos de sangre” (ADES), has been filmed in Salamanca since 2013.

Salamanca Film Commission has collaborated with Nuria Galache and Mo de la Fuente in terms of production, logistics, and locations.
