The Canarian Why Films promotes international filming in the Canary Islands

the canarian producer Why Films consolidates its international work with the shooting of two films that will be recorded in Tenerife over the next few months. Kendo Killer Y Webmasters These are the two projects in which the Canarian company is immersed together with producers from the American continent. Thus, uniting her work with that of the Uruguayan production company Yukoh Films, the Canarian has advanced negotiations to work with scripts for Netflix.

Meanwhile, Why Films is now finalizing the details of the recording of Kendo Killera chapter that is part of the horror anthology made by the North American production company Bloody Disgusting together with streamer Shudder. The play is set in a post-apocalyptic future, where various monsters, creatures, and humans fight for survival. The director of Why Films, José Luis Langa, explains that this piece will be shot entirely in Tenerife next August. “It will be a short shoot since it is a chapter within a feature length horror genre,” he adds. Thus, the film will be made up of four chapters that have a certain connection with each other and precisely one of them will be shot on the Island.

With this shoot, Why Films boosts its audiovisual production and enhances a catalog of works that also includes co-production with Yukoh Films Webmasters, a feature film that is scheduled to be released at the end of 2023. It is a co-production with Uruguay and Argentina and around 25% of the recording will take place in the Canary Islands, specifically in Tenerife. It is a project promoted together with the Uruguayan film director Maximiliano Contenti, with whom Why Films has been working intensely for nearly a year.

Precisely Jose Luis Langa He explains that the last year has been one of great intensity in terms of the working relationship with Contenti. “We have a very similar romantic way of conceiving the film sector and that is what has united us intellectually”, explains Langa and adds that “that is what has allowed us to develop the type of projects we are working on now and in a period so short of time since before what we were focused on was advertising ». In this way, currently more than 25% of the work of Why Films also expands throughout the peninsular territory, developing projects in different points and even in Andorra.

In all these new productions they try to respond to “emotional concepts”, says Langa. Precisely, she explains, for Why Films it has been necessary to “change the chip” that separates the world of advertising from that of cinema. «In advertising everything is more stressful, faster, everything has to be concentrated in shorter periods of time to optimize the budget, while in the world of cinema, although it is also stressful, there is a very mystical aura and our projects are also linked to emotional terrain so everything is deeper and more relaxed”, says José Luis Langa who affirms that it is in this second field that he feels “more comfortable”.

This professional relationship has made it possible for platforms like Netflix are interested in the different audiovisual proposals of this alliance and that also allows these professionals to dare with different genres, such as fantasy, adventure, comedy or terror, which is precisely the genre with which Maximiliano Contenti became known internationally.

They want most of their future projects to be located in the Canary Islands, although he acknowledges that in recent times they have discovered very good locations in places like Andorra, “which allow us to carry out comedy, fantasy or adventure filming,” explains José Luis Langa. The director celebrates that “the pandemic has been a boom for filming” and recalls that in the last two and a half years “there have even been problems because there weren’t enough with so many projects”. That is why he celebrates that the sector in the Islands is now “at cruising speed” since many projects are being confirmed in which “the Canary Islands, and especially Tenerife, which is where Why Films was born, have a very prominent role”.
