“THE PROFESSOR,” THE NEW FILM BY DANIEL CASTRO STARRING JAVIER GUTIÉRREZ, IS BEING FILMED IN ASTURIAS

The Professor, the new feature film written and directed by Daniel Castro and starring Javier Gutiérrez and Gonzalo de Castro, is being filmed in Asturias.

Produced by Atresmedia Cine, Gonita, 4 Cats Pictures, and a Una nueva comedia AIE in co-production with Vaya Films, The Professor is a comedy with dramatic overtones inspired by true events. The film addresses current themes such as loneliness and self-deception, combining humor and emotion to offer an honest look at digital vulnerability, the need for affection, and the desire to believe.

Filming is taking place in various locations in the Principado de Asturias, including the Historic Building of the University of Oviedo, the Milan Campus and the Calatrava Building, the historic center of Avilés, and the Niemeyer Center, which will become key settings in the protagonist’s universe. Filming will move to Bogotá, Colombia, in November.

The Professor is a production by Atresmedia Cine, Gonita, 4 Cats Pictures, and Una nueva comedia AIE, in co-production with Vaya Films (Colombia), with the participation of Atresmedia and Netflix, and funding from the ICAA and the Community of Madrid. It will be distributed in theaters by A Contracorriente Films, with Film Factory as the international sales agency.

Synopsis:

Carlos, a lonely university professor, falls in love online with Claudia, a model twenty years his junior who lives in Colombia. She never wants to talk via video call… only via chat. Even though Claudia’s relationship seems too good to be true, Carlos will risk everything for a love he thought would never come, and that may not even be real.
