At this year\u2019s \u2600\ufe0f Sundance festival \u2600\ufe0f, I met a wide array of talented people. Among them is Roc\xedo Jadue, a Chilean producer that runs the Latin-American film division at Fabula. She is best known for the film A Fantastic Woman (2018), directed by Sebasti\xe1n Lelio, which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. \U0001f39e

Special shoutout to Maylen Calienes, founder of Latino Filmmakers Network for graciously hosting AOP at her Sundance case. Gracias amiga!

Roc\xedo\u2019s career at Fabula dates back to 2012 when she executive produced Pablo Larra\xedn's No, the first Chilean film nominated for the Academy Awards. She has now worked on 20 films, such as Neruda and The Club, that have premiered in festivals like Cannes, Berlin, Venice, and Sundance.

Roc\xedo had two incredible films premiering at this year\u2019s festival; Eternal Memory, winner of the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize: Documentary directed by @MaiteAlberdi and director @ChristopherMurray's dark and decolonial coming-of-age tale, Sorcery.

Gems from this episode include:

-Roc\xedo\u2019s luck in landing her first big project, Pablo Larra\xedn's \u201cNo,\u201d which was nominated for an Academy Award

-Coming up in Chile\u2019s limited film industry
