The feature directorial debut of Fernando Urdapilleta, the Mexico City wunderkind behind short film sensation Cosita Linda, will receive its world premiere at the 30th Guadalajara Film Festival (FICG30).
Estrellas Solitarias (Lonely Stars) premieres on March 10 and will screen in the Mezcal competition and the Maguey Lgbtt programme during the event, which runs from March 6-15 in the Mexican state of Jalisco.

Henner Hoffman and Karla Bukantz produced and the executive producers are Antonio Urdapilleta and Alejandra Garcia.

Mexican director Fernando Urdapilleta burst on to our radar a few years back now with his short film Cosita Linda (Pretty Little Thing), a brilliantly grimy coming of age / revenge tale with a truly shocking twist that burned it up on the festival circuit and left audiences waiting for the day Urdapilleta would make the step to features.
