EFD Studios has partnered with DocsMX, the International Documentary Film Festival of Mexico City, to reinforce its commitment to fostering and developing new cinematic talent. DocsMX not only showcases and promotes documentary films but also offers workshops, forums, and educational activities that enrich participants’ experiences and skills.
As part of this collaboration, EFD Studios participated in DocsLab, a platform designed to connect filmmakers and producers, fostering the creation and exchange of ideas. Its goal is to encourage new documentary projects and support emerging documentary filmmakers in Mexico and across Ibero-America.
After careful deliberation, EFD Studios awarded two prizes in the following workshops:
For Plataforma Mx, a space where participants receive guidance in various areas to refine their ideas and bring them to the screen, the winning project was Fosfo, directed by Humberto Busto and Guz Guevara, and produced by Abril López Carrillo.
For Plataforma IB, a five-day workshop focused on developing the creative processes of documentary projects, the selected proposal was Marithea, a Colombian project directed by Diego Cruz and produced by Frank Carreño and Margarita Beltrán.
Both winning productions will receive a full filming kit for four weeks, allowing the selected documentaries to be brought to life.
This year’s award ceremony was held at the Universidad de la Comunicación and concluded with a reception, where participants and judges gathered to celebrate the festival’s closing.
EFD Studios is proud to be part of this event, reaffirming its commitment to supporting and empowering the dreams of Mexican and International filmmakers. Its collaboration with DocsMX strengthens EFD Studios’ mission to contribute to the growth of documentary filmmaking, by supporting new generations of talent in their creative journeys.
