Script: Barva and Mascaradas

The journey for a new screenplay has begun, inspired by the mascaradas and the canton of Barva.

Our colleague Juan Manuel has embarked on the creative adventure of making his second feature film. He is currently in the screenwriting stage, collaborating with sociologist Luis Carlos Bonilla. Together, they aim to finish a first draft of the script by this coming June. The story explores the details of a Costa Rican tradition—the mascaradas—and its significance in shaping the identity of the Barva community.

The project does not have a set title yet, but we will have more news soon.

The photographs are from a shoot done this year to produce a teaser.
