To be shot in English with an American cast, “Cutting Season” is written by actor-scribe Brock Yurich, who also stars. It tracks bodybuilder Eddie as he strives towards achieving PRO-card status. Once he realizes that his single mother/de-facto coach can’t help him reach the next level, he hires a new coach but faces a new set of challenges as their complex relationship unfolds.
“I’ve been working with trainers, talking to both newbies and retirees and immersing myself in the world,” he told “Bodybuilding, along with testosterone and steroids, can fuel an exceptionally fragile emotional state. And matching that with the intense, raw, and intimate relationship that develops gives us so much to work with in this story,” he noted.
Last year was an exceptional year for Bolivian Cinema, with a slew of Bolivian films making a splash in festivals worldwide: Alejandro Loayza won at Sundance with “Utama”; Kiro Russo snagged the Venice Horizons award with “The Great Movement”; Martin Boulocq clinched the best screenplay award at Tribeca with “The Visitor”; Natalia Lopez earned the Berlin Silver Bear Jury Prize with “Robe of Gems” and Daniela Cajias became the first female Bolivian DoP to win a Goya for cinematography.
As a producer, he has backed Boulocq’s “The Most Beautiful” and “My Very Best Years.” In 2014, he produced his first American horror film, a remake of the acclaimed Mexican film “We Are What We Are,” directed by Jim Mickle and which premiered at Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight.
