Federation Spain, Chile's Alma Films, and the Dominican Republic's Larimar Films have joined Kryzz Gautier's queer period horror film, titled 'Echoes'. The film is set to be presented at the upcoming Costa Rica Media Market. Production is slated to commence with principal photography in late 2027, with the majority of the filming to occur in Spain. Kryzz Gautier is producing the film through her company, Reclaimed Entertainment. 'Echoes' is described as a queer period horror, indicating a blend of historical setting, romantic elements, and genre horror.
