“God save you, María” is the first script written by Raúl Martínez, a man from Benissa who is full of surprises when he combines his role as announcer and editor and now also as a screenwriter.
A work that came into the hands of her friend, the Teuladina actress Rosa Catalán, who did not hesitate to propose taking it to the big screen and that the public would be surprised just as she did.
A proposal that could not be resisted and in which there was only one condition: “I’ll get on the bandwagon if you do too, what’s more, you have to be the protagonist of my first story.”
The appreciated actress could not resist either and has sought the few free hours she has, after directing the different regional theater schools almost daily and the tour of her theatrical show “Dorotea”, to get into this role.
A perfect tandem that has wanted to complete the team of this short film with more neighbors from the area with the aim of creating a region and letting the whole world know that there are great professionals in our towns.
Names that we will get to know in future reports. At the moment, we can tell you that they are José Miguel Idígoras, his trusted director who will also act as producer together with Oliver Kingsbury who has adapted the script.
«The short film will take us to the end of the 70s where its protagonist, María, will make us put ourselves in her shoes, making us shudder. She raised in a religious and very strict bosom and with a youth that comes to her in full maturity. Although not much more of her script has elapsed, it seems that she looks very good », production sources have anticipated.
The Casa Museu dels Abargues de Benissa will become these days the set of a filming that everything indicates that it will be the beginning of a long artistic career that will unite the announcer and the actress. Both are enthusiastic about this project for which different producers have been interested in presenting it at different film festivals.
