LOS COMENSALES, by DIANE ACOSTA

I'd like to draw your attention to the new project my friend Producer Diane Acosta is working on: Los Comensales (English title: The Duke's Table), that will be shot in Spain.
I like her works very much and I am always impressed by the energy she puts in what she does.
Los Comensales is a metaphor for the corruption that comes with power, and is an original, low budget project.
Here is a synopsis:
At the headquarters of the Viceroyalty of La Nueva Granada, Santa Fe, today known as Bogota, the village rises against the Spanish Crown.
Meanwhile, in the dining room of a colonial mansion, a couple of brothers belonging to the Spanish nobility tries to maintain a dangerous secret that could destroy their lives.
One of the indigenous servants of the Duchess has apparently found a letter which reveals the valuable secret.
The brothers use all their power to make her confess the truth, and protect themselves. That night they will commit one of the most horrific tortures of the time.
Characters will be confronted with their own monsters in search of the absolute right to remain in power, who once more used violence to defend themselves.

You can back Diane and her people by following this link, and if you like to contact her just click here.
Good luck Diane, I'm looking forward to watch it!
