Incendio Cine Secures New Partners for ‘We Won’t Let the Goat Die’

Four years after Ariel Escalante’s “Domingo and the Mist” premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, Costa Rica’s Incendio Cine has secured new co-production partners for Felipe Zúñiga’s solo directorial debut, “We Won’t Let the Goat Die.” Panama’s Expansive Cine and Peru’s Cine Infinito have joined the project, bolstering its international collaboration.

This expansion signifies Incendio Cine’s continued success in forging co-production deals within Central America. The label previously supported Escalante’s acclaimed film, highlighting its commitment to fostering regional cinematic talent and projects. The addition of Expansive Cine and Cine Infinito suggests a growing confidence in Zúñiga’s directorial vision and the film’s potential market appeal.

“We Won’t Let the Goat Die” is set to benefit from the combined expertise and resources of these three production entities. While specific details regarding the film’s plot or production timeline were not immediately available, the involvement of multiple international partners indicates a significant investment and a strategic approach to its development and distribution. The film's title, “We Won’t Let the Goat Die,” suggests a narrative potentially centered on resilience or a critical struggle.

The collaboration between Incendio Cine, Expansive Cine, and Cine Infinito underscores a trend of increasing inter-country cooperation in Latin American cinema. Such partnerships often lead to richer storytelling, broader audience reach, and enhanced production values, contributing to the overall growth and diversity of the region's film industry. Further announcements regarding the film are anticipated as production progresses.
