Filming of «Blood Friends» Concludes
The directors of “Blood Friends” offer their web series as a testing ground for ideas such as the merger of several projects, special episodes, or cameos.
On Sunday, June 25, the series' team finished recording the first three episodes of the second season. The streets of Salamanca have been the setting for the escapades of Guillermo and Mario, two bosses of the 'charra' mafia who find themselves expelled from their territory.
"Blood Friends" is the first web series made in the city; its directors Guillermo Peláez and Jorge Álvarez began recording the 2nd season last week. The work will be the first major web series crossover, bringing together the main national creators.
The web series was presented at the “Film and Series Exhibition”, held in Barcelona. During the three days of the event, the public could view the project, talk with its creators, and contribute on-site to its crowdfunding campaign; furthermore, “Blood Friends” won the “Zoom Festival Award” for best Spanish web series, granted by the prestigious “Zoom Festival” (held in Igualada), which gives them access as finalists to the next edition of the “Fiction Pilots Showcase”.
Spain is one of the countries in the world that produces the most web series, but there is still no solid communication network among creators. The producers of “Blood Friends” are offering their web series as a “testing ground”; the intention is to allow freedom for collaboration with other series during the pre-production and filming stages so that ideas can be proposed, such as the merger of several projects, special episodes, cameos, audience sharing, or storylines that affect different scripts. A big web series crossover that demonstrates, both in reality and in fiction, that unity is strength.
The web series has had the collaboration of Salamanca Film Commission regarding permits, logistics, and production.
