In a groundbreaking move that has left audiences buzzing with excitement, FIVE 11 Studios has just unveiled a tantalizing first look at their upcoming series, "DESOLATE." Teaming up with The Bomb TV, this powerhouse studio is poised to revolutionize independent filmmaking once again, following the tremendous success of their award-winning short film of the same name.
The teaser for "DESOLATE" promises an unforgettable journey, featuring the talented actor Juan Manuel Mendiola Jr. alongside the acclaimed Rene Leos, who is set to reprise his role as the enigmatic Ruben, the lonely survivor. With accolades ranging from Best Director to Best Actor, the short film "DESOLATE" captivated audiences and critics alike, setting the stage for what promises to be an equally mesmerizing series.
When asked about what audiences can expect from the new series, Rene Leos expressed his excitement, stating, "AMAZING!!! Wow, this series is exactly what we had envisioned in the first place. We get to answer questions that the audience had about the short film. I'm so excited to see everyone's reaction." His enthusiasm is palpable, reflecting the dedication and passion driving the project forward.
Joining the cast is Juan Manuel Mendiola Jr., who shares his exhilaration at being part of the series, saying, "To be honest, the Director sent me the short film to watch and I was blown away. I couldn't wait to see the series. I wasn't asked to be a part of it until later, but when I was asked, I jumped at the opportunity. To say I wasn't nervous would be a lie; seeing Rene on screen and now being able to act side by side with him was a little intimidating. That being said, first day on set, he was so welcoming and is always there to give advice and a helping hand, even if he isn't in the scene. He is the true meaning of a true actor." Such camaraderie and support among the cast promise an on-screen chemistry that will captivate audiences.
Directed by Alberto Ornelas, "DESOLATE" holds a special significance for FIVE 11 Studios, as it marks a pivotal moment in the company's journey. Alberto Ornelas shares his excitement, stating, "DESOLATE is what allowed my new company FIVE 11 STUDIOS to be born. That being said, DESOLATE is the reason the company became what it did, and for me to be able to honor the short film and the fans with a series is beyond a blessing. I can't wait for you all to see what we have in store." His words underscore the passion and dedication driving the series forward, promising an unforgettable viewing experience for audiences worldwide.
Featuring a stellar cast including Domingo Lara and April Phillips, "DESOLATE" is set to captivate audiences with its compelling narrative, breathtaking cinematography, and stellar performances. Stay tuned for the official cast announcement as the series gears up for its highly anticipated release later this year.
