Q COSTARICA — Costa Rican filmmaker Frayser Navarrette is moving forward with his new film, “Chicas Malas” (Bad Girls), which will be filmed in Costa Rica.
The project enters a new phase of production just a month after wrapping up filming for “Plan B,” shot in Mexico.
The film will bring together Mexican and Costa Rican talent, fostering a creative exchange between the two film industries.
Mexican actor Abraham Ramos stars in the story, which is marked by secrets, ambition, and manipulation among the characters.
The cast includes Karla Barahona and Alexandra Acosta, along with emerging talents such as Karolina Kapusta and Miranda Giaccarini.
The film is shaping up to be a suspenseful thriller with high dramatic conflict, intense twists, and a constant atmosphere of danger.
Navarrette directs and also stars in the film. He plays Carlos, a key character in the plot.
The story features complex characters, especially the female ones, caught in power dynamics, hidden agendas, and life-or-death decisions.
The story incorporates two female characters who add new emotional and dramatic layers to a narrative charged with tension.
The film maintains the theme of diversity that the director explored in “Somewhere,” renowned for its focus on a love story.
This time, the film presents a lesbian couple at the heart of the conflict, with two villains bound by desire and complicity.
The film combines love, sensuality, and malevolence in characters who develop within an environment of tension and darkness.
With this project, Navarrette is promoting a production that strengthens collaboration between Costa Rica and Mexico.
Filming will primarily take place in Cartago, solidifying the country as a location for international productions.
