MK2 Films is now on board for alum Jonas Carpignano’s A Chiara, which just wrapped filming.
A Chiara tells the story of 15-year-old Chiara whose close-knit family falls apart after her father abandons them in Calabria. Chiara starts to investigate to understand why her father disappeared and as she gets closer to the truth, she is forced to decide what kind of future she wants for herself.
“It is truly an immense pleasure to be introducing Jonas’ new feature to international distributors,” said Fionnuala Jamison, head of international sales at MK2 Films. “We have long admired his films and are confident that ‘A Chiara’ will bring the intensity of his realistic storytelling to a whole new level by following the steps of such an explosive titular character whose young age injects an unmatched energy and intensity to the drama.”
