Dynamo & Sony partner for cannabis thriller.
The collaboration marks a first-ever alliance between SPT and Dynamo. Cannabica aims to take a fresh look at the future of the cannabis industry from a different and modern perspective.
Cannabica centers on three young, intelligent and ambitious entrepreneurs who bet on the recently legalized medicinal cannabis market in Colombia. The new face of entrepreneurship in the country, with their names on everyone’s lips, the trio has a secret that haunts them—the company appears to be built on a fatal lie and one journalist, in particular, is determined to uncover the truth.
The 10 x 45-minute series has been co-created by Natalia Echeverri, executive producer at Dynamo, and director Andrés Beltrán (Bolívar), with María Elisa Camargo (El Barón) and Carolina Gaitán (Narcos) among its cast. Nomads’ Esteban Orozco is attached to write.
The show features lifelike prop cannabis made by Australian ‘420’ activists and artists Craze Collective and will be available via Pantaya in the US and Puerto Rico, with Sony distributing the series internationally.
Production has started this month.
Dynamo, which has offices in Colombia, Spain, Mexico and New York, was set up in 2006 and has produced more than 30 feature films, including Sundance winner Monos, and a growing array of series including Distrito Salvaje, Historia de un Crimen: Colmenares and Frontera Verde for Netflix.
