Venezuelan Mini Series Named Celtx POW!

Happy New Year, everybody! We hope that everyone had a fanastic holiday season!

The first POW of 2008 brings us to Venezuela to meet director, producer and scriptwriter Mauricio Odreman Delgado. Mauricio is the son of filmmaker Mauricio Jose Odremán Nieto (1926-2004), who was one of the pioneers and founders of RCTV. It seems that Mauricio not only inherited his father's name but also his passion for cinema.

"Bolívar Niño" or "Bolivar child," is the title of his latest project which recounts the adventures of Pedrito, a boy who travels through a time portal to 1795, where he makes friends with a young Simon Bolivar.

Simón Bolívar, also known as "El Libertador" was born July 24, 1783 in Caracas, Venezuela. He was a leader of several independence movements throughout South America, collectively known as Bolívar's War. Together with José de San Martín, Bolívar is regarded as one of the Liberators of Spanish South America.

Shot in 35 mm on HD for broadcast television, this 6 part miniseries will be a production aimed at the international market. The film will have adventure, entertainment and promote awareness of the true image of Venezuela. The film is being shot in La Guaira, the historical centre of Caracas, and Avila. It will present both the eighteenth century Venezuela and the modern Venezuela of today.

If you read Spanish, you can check out the script for "Bolívar Niño" on Project Central. If not, no worries, you can find scenes from this upcoming miniseries on Mauricio's YouTube site.

Congrats!

Michelle & the C-Team.
