With the help of its director, its showrunner and one of its protagonists, ttvnews went behind the scenes of this major production, a crime thriller with supernatural elements that brings to life one of the most enigmatic legends of the Chilean idiosyncrasy.

A relentless detective returns to her homeland to investigate the disappearance of a young archaeologist on an enigmatic island.

At first glance, it appears to be the synopsis of a classic crime thriller. But Isla Oculta goes far beyond the crime genre, presenting a science fiction story with unexpected twists and hints of mystery, suspense, paranormal activity and even extraterrestrial life, framed in the impressive backdrop of Chilean Patagonia.

A production by Río Estudios and Filmo Estudios, distributed by Mega Global Entertainment, the original idea for this great Chilean fiction was born from a legend.

“There is an urban legend in the South of Chile, about an island inhabited by beings from another dimension. An island that only a few people have managed to access, being invited by these beings, with whom you connect through shortwave radio frequencies so that they can invite you,” Pablo Díaz del Rio, producer and showrunner of Isla Oculta, began in conversation with ttvnews.

“There is a man who says that he arrived more than 30 years ago with terminal lung cancer, disappeared and reappeared 20 years later, intact, without having aged a day and cured of his illness,” he continued. “That is the legend of Friendship Island, where people appear and disappear, in the Chiloé archipelago, in the South of Chile. And it blew my mind. I really like sailing and I have even tried to find the coordinates of this island, without success. From this legend, we created an imaginary for the series.”

Isla Oculta follows Fabiola García (38), a relentless detective, who returns to her homeland in the enigmatic Chiloé archipelago, after 30 years, to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Olga Zuloaga (24), a young Mexican archaeologist. Upon her return, Fabiola relives enigmas and distressing memories, as her twin sister also disappeared in mysterious circumstances when they were children, and this makes her feel the call of something beyond her understanding.

José Luis Zuloaga (56), Olga’s father and renowned journalist, also arrives on the island, convinced that this must be a political kidnapping. However, as they unravel the web of mysteries and secrets surrounding Olga’s disappearance, they discover that this search is not a typical police case.

Fabiola will have to leave her skepticism behind and dive into a parallel universe to figure out if the case has political or police connections, or if it is, against all logic, linked to the elusive and mythical Friendship Island, where, according to hundreds of reports, other disappearances, inexplicable healings and paranormal activity of extraterrestrial origin have occurred.

“As the investigation progresses, paranormal events begin to occur. They begin to prove that this girl was involved with this island,” the showrunner said. “And in the end, without revealing any spoilers, what they discover is a life in another dimension. Not necessarily extraterrestrial, but another frequency, where the characters see the future and see how humanity will be threatened in 30 or 40 years.”

It is in this time jump, when the narrative reaches us in the present time, that the series finds the kick-off for its second installment.

“When Artificial Intelligence and machines begin to control the life of humanity, hyper-connectivity, social networks. And how these machines are going to save us from things that we live through today, global warming, famine, pandemics, wars… But the day we give absolute power to the machines to save us, we will see humanity threatened,” explained the showrunner. “So for the second season there is a cliff-hanger where our characters return to the present time, to 2027 – which is when we hope the second season will be made – with a specific mission: to be the hand that disconnects us from this great engine.”

BEYOND THE CRIME GENRE

To draw up this story, which could have been limited to a crime series based on the investigation of a disappearance, but ended up being a marriage of many genres, the production team had to overcome several challenges, both at the level of development and location, budget and strategy.

“We started with this original idea based on that legend, with a police series. And as we moved forward, in my more creative role as showrunner, I said, ‘We have to take charge of the science fiction that this legend carries, we can’t just leave it as a criminal story.’ And that’s where we started,” explained Díaz del Río. “It’s a project that took about four or five years of development.”

This is where Rodrigo Susarte, director of Isla Oculta, agreed, describing the narrative process as one of the greatest challenges of bringing this story to life.

“The greatest challenge is the story, the ability to narrate,” the director began in dialogue with ttvnews. “How to unite all the areas and converge in a construction of a convincing image, with its own universe. Playing with the genres and articulating an authorship in that. For the creative team and in general, it was the greatest challenge, to generate that authorship.”

The budget, limited to the industry in Chile and Latin America, was another element that influenced how this story was going to be forged, not necessarily in a negative or limiting way, but rather promoting creativity to adapt to the available resources.

“There is something particular about the challenge of generating this genre, of how to tell it,” said Susarte. “We were always very eager and restless with the team and the actors to interpret, reinterpret, and how to make the best production based on the time and possibilities we have as an industry. But precisely that work leads us, in my opinion, to do something more interesting. There was an economy of resources but that perhaps gave you originality, a particular look. There was always a twist, an exercise in the demand of having limited resources that forced us to be able to tell the story in another way.”

“One is used to seeing science fiction series with an impressive display of resources. But we were able to make a series with this particularity, with the strange, the ominous, with narrative and creative strategies that were much more interesting to us,” continued the director.

“The production cost did not fit with what was available on the platforms for this license,” added Díaz del Río on the same point. “We had to work, without damaging the content. Landing certain elements of the most futuristic world to make it happen and doing it with the CNTV fund, the support of MGE, the support of Filmo Estudios and Rio Studios, where we are investing in this content to show it to the market and for them to see that we have a real gem,” he explained.

PATAGONIA, THE CAMERA AND THE ACTORS: THE CHARACTERS OF THE SERIES

And if we are talking about challenges, one of the biggest ones that the Isla Oculta production team faced was, without a doubt, its location, having to travel to Patagonia, and work on nights of cold and rain, to recreate the mysterious context of the famous Friendship Island.

“Friendship Island is in the Chiloé archipelago, south of Chile, where there is no connectivity at all, where Chile is dismembered,” emphasized the showrunner. “Filming there is extremely difficult, because there are no accommodation facilities for a crew, there is no internet. So we went to where Patagonia begins, to the Los Ríos region, a beautiful region full of islands, very similar to what the archipelago is.

“We chose it for its natural beauty and also because we have the support of CORFO (Corporación de Fomento a la Producción), we earned a cash rebate from the region itself,” he added. “I think the landscape is a super protagonist in our series, the rain, the cold, the fog. The series takes place a lot at night, so we worked a lot at night, sailing… a great challenge.”

“They were incredible locations,” Susarte said. “We had a number of locations that each country, each area has a particularity. And you as a creator have to be obsessed with that, find that and show it, not only from the particularity of the landscape, but how to integrate it into the story. That jungle Patagonia, which is unique, was incredible. And it has not been exploited so much in Chilean cinematography. Super attractive, an interesting challenge and an incredible experience.”

In addition to the landscape and the locations, another essential protagonist of any series is, of course, the actors themselves, who gave life to the characters in this story of intrigue and mystery.

“The fundamental thing is always the acting,” the director summed up. “I think that is where the plausibility of what one is constructing is established, beyond whether it is a historical story or not. That was fundamental, the work of directing the actors, of being able to enter into the plausibility, of articulating the characters.”

The choice of the cast was a joint effort by Susarte and Díaz del Rio, together with the casting director. “The three of us were very obsessed with finding the actor, the artist who was ideal for the character,” said Susarte. “I am very interested in theatre, I recently did a play. And I have a fixation with actors, a closeness that is important. The good thing is that there was always something that we were looking for that was similar, we saw the characters in a similar way.”

No one better to talk about the experience of the actors in this series than Daniela Ramirez, the protagonist, who plays detective Fabiola García. “She is a complex character, she is a woman who is alone, she is obsessive, analytical, a lover of her work. But she is also a consequence of everything she has lost and how she has had to concentrate on herself to get ahead,” the actress explained to ttvnews.

“She is a character who suffers a lot from her loneliness, who is not happy being alone. That is what she has been given. Her career makes her feel alive. She is a modern woman for that time, self-sufficient, recognized by her peers. She is a commissioner with a high position, she is one of the people who intelligently deciphers the cases. She is a character who seduced me a lot, super rational. Wanting to find the logic of things, all these events begin to happen in the series that are not verifiable and that disrupt her thinking,” she added.

FROM CHILE TO THE WORLD

Thus, Isla Oculta is presented as a series made in Chile, but with a story that transcends borders and a potential to reach audiences around the world.

“One always wants to put energy and resources into content that we ourselves would like to see on screen. It is so difficult to make fiction from Chile, where one has to be convinced that this is the content that must be made. It is difficult when it is something that one says, it is good, but perhaps I would not watch it. As a producer, I have to think about where I approach it,” said the showrunner.

“And this particular content, this genre, this landscape… everything comes together here. I said, I would watch this content on a screen. And that’s why we also launched with Esperanza Garay, who has been super important at the creative table, contributing ideas, with her perspective that is very welcome because she is in North America. She sees things that I couldn’t perceive.”

“It’s a conflict of all humanity, that runs through us regardless of nationality. That was another important challenge of the project, to get it out of Chile, out of our idiosyncrasy. We have a story that is permeable to everyone, that excites us all,” he concluded.

The group is present at the event as part of the WAWA Pavilion to showcase the latest additions to its catalogue.

MGE, a distributor and developer of audiovisual content, is coming to Mipcom 2024 as part of the WAWA Pavilion to showcase the latest additions to its catalogue, which include everything from innovative entertainment formats and reality shows to successful productions in the genres of telenovelas, series, films, and documentaries.

“The global content market is in a moment of transformation, and at MGE we firmly believe that the diversity of voices and perspectives is essential to continue innovating and offering content that resonates with audiences around the world. We are very excited to be part of the WAWA pavilion on this occasion, an organization with which we share values and that works tirelessly to promote and support women who are part of the entertainment industry. This year, we come to Mipcom with a robust catalog of productions that not only entertain, but also challenge traditional narratives and proposals, including successful reality show competition and coexistence formats, as well as telenovelas that have reached the highest audience levels in Latin America”, commented Esperanza Garay, CEO of MGE.

Among the titles in the MGE catalogue, there are reality show formats of coexistence and competition such as Brave Land and Win or Serve, and the successful entertainment format The great chef celebrities, which is already in its ninth season in Peru. In addition to its great audience success in Peru, Brave Land, and Win or Serve, both formats developed by the Production Consortium formed by Latina TV and the production company CookingMedia, have already been adapted by Canal 13 in Chile, once again placing the channel at the head of the ratings.

In the telenovela genre, MGE will be presenting South of Love, the co-production between Megamedia and Netflix that was positioned among the 10 most-watched programs on the platform for two consecutive weeks, after its premiere on August 28; Generation 98, one of the telenovelas with the greatest performance and international appeal, which tells the story of a group of schoolmates who, after a reunion twenty-five years later, relive uncomfortable secrets from the past; and Dad in trouble, the successful co-production between Megamedia and Latina TV of Peru, based on the original story Papá a la deriva by Megamedia.

Additionally, and as part of its most recent distribution agreement with La Merced Producciones, MGE will be presenting as part of its new releases the competition docu-reality show, La Pupila, where 15 amateur boxers compete for a prize of one hundred thousand dollars and to become the chosen one to be trained by the current Professional Women’s Boxing World Champion, and to opt to become her successor; and the black comedy film Malas Costumbres, a film that invites us to reflect on the high cost of bad decisions, through the hilarious story of an insurance salesman on the verge of bankruptcy who recruits his depressed brother, on the verge of suicide, to defraud the system, simulate the death of his father who disappeared 20 years ago, and thus collect his large inheritance.

The content distributor expands its positioning, integrating the development of original stories, as well as the international negotiation of strategic alliances for financing and co-production of audiovisual projects, as is the case of the recently announced agreement with Inter Medya.

Five years after its creation, MGE presents within the framework of Content Americas a renewed image that begins a new stage of the company that marks not only its consolidation as one of the most solid independent content distributors in the industry, but also its positioning as a developer of original audiovisual projects with renowned Latin American production companies and scriptwriters, through its MGE Originals division, and as a strategic ally for co-production negotiations in the international market.

“MGE has been evolving naturally since its inception as a result of our firm commitment to working jointly and closely with our clients, involving us in all stages of development, negotiation and promotion, in order to achieve maximum internationalization of their stories. This vision has led us to become much more than a distribution company, which is why today we have decided to officially integrate the development of original projects, our expertise in international negotiations, and alliances for co-productions as part of our offer, giving way to a new stage of MGE that we wanted to see also reflected in our image,” commented Esperanza Garay, CEO of MGE.

This new positioning of MGE, as a distributor, incubator of original projects, and co-production ally, has already been felt in the industry through recently announced agreements that include: the series La Isla, a story that begins its co-production and distribution alliance with the renowned production company Río Estudios, inspired by the real myth of Friendship Island, and starring the Chilean actress Daniela Ramírez; the international distribution of the new Megamedia project Al Sur del corazón that will be seen throughout Latin America through Netflix; and its most recent co-production alliance with the Turkish giant Inter Medya for the telenovela Amor y Orgullo.

Regarding new features in its catalog, MGE arrives at Content Americas with a renewed offering that includes high-quality series and films, an inspiring documentary series, entertainment formats, original projects, and the most recent television hits from Megamedia and SBS Korea.

In terms of series, MGE presents Cromosoma 21 -for distribution on open and pay TV in Latin America-, La Cacería -seasons 1 and 2-, and Poemas Malditos. Cromosoma 21, produced by Film & Maker and Wild Sheep Entertainment, was the most watched Chilean series in 2023 and a success for more than 18 consecutive weeks on Netflix, which tells the story of Tomy, a low-income boy with down syndrome who is involved in a crime scene, unleashing a challenging investigation that confronts everyone with corruption and ethical and social prejudice. La cacería is a crime thriller inspired by real events in heartbreaking cases of disappearances of young people. The story, made by the production company Villano and directed by Juan Ignacio Sabatini, has two seasons, the first for distribution in the second window, and the second available in the first window for all platforms. Poemas Malditos, also from the Villano production company, is an electrifying series that focuses on four female protagonists with stories set in rural Chile at the beginning of the 20th century, inspired by the verses of the Lira Popular.

In the telenovela genre, MGE – distributor of the Megamedia catalog since its inception – will be presenting the two most recent television hits of the leading Chilean channel: Como la vida misma and Generación 98. Como la vida misma is a fun dramedy that reflects the challenges that modern society faces, when a divorced couple begins a relationship after meeting on a dating application, but now they must get their respective families to match. Generation 98 tells the story of a group of schoolmates who, after a reunion twenty-five years later, will face a secret from the past that involves them all and that no one wants to talk about. From SBS Korea, the title of the telenovela Destino y Amor is added: a charming coincidence, a dramedy that tells the story of love, challenges and disagreements between two sisters and two friends.

In the docuseries genre, MGE adds Extraordinarios, an inspiring and wonderful original documentary series produced by Altirosapiens, which immerses us in the world of women with disabilities from all over Latin America and shows us how their lives are living testimonies of struggle, resilience and triumph, bravely challenging a system that has historically discriminated against and relegated them.

And in the entertainment genre, the company is presenting successful formats from Latina, El Gran Chef and Tierra Brava.

Meanwhile, in the film portfolio, MGE offers a wide list of high-quality feature films, among which the award-winning Colombian film Somos Ecos directed by Julián Díaz Velosa stands out, which tells how the armed conflict goes through the lives of three young people; and Spider Girls, directed by Guillermo Helo and based on real events, which tells the story of three low-income teenagers who undertake a risky adventure climbing the buildings of an upper-class neighborhood to steal, seeking to change the destiny they had to live.

Finally, through its MGE Originals division, MGE has also incorporated innovative stories that are in the development phase into its portfolio, including – in addition to the already mentioned series La Isla with the renowned production company Río Estudios – the series Uzal, Los Órganos del Poder, En nombre del Hijo, El Silencio de los Angeles, La Mestissa, De nuevo en tus brazos, e Índigo.

“All that is MGE, we are a distributor, a curator, we enter into the developments, we work on all the integrated marketing and developed specifically for each product. That’s how MGE is happily reaching its first five years,” the executive summarized to ttvnews.

The original scripts for the series María: La Mexicana and El Doctor de los Milagros, and the format of the original Korean telenovela Escalera al Cielo, are the three contents acquired by Telemundo Studios that are part of the new programming announced during its most recent upfront.

As announced by Telemundo during its most recent upfront, María: La Mexicana (Maria: The Mexican), El Doctor de los Milagros (The Doctor of Miracles), and Escalera al Cielo (Stairway to Heaven), will be three of the great productions that will hit its screen in 2023, and which are part of the catalog of MGE – Mega Global Entertainment – distributor in charge of closing the agreement with Telemundo Studios.

“At MGE we are thrilled that these three great stories are part of the programmatic news announced recently by Telemundo, and we are eager for them to soon reach the Hispanic audience in the United States through its screen. In the case of María: La Mexicana and El Doctor de los Milagros, we have opted, through our MGE Originals division, to promote original content inspired by real stories and characters, raised from a human approach that positively impacts the entire audience. For its part, Escalera al Cielo is a wonderful love story from SBS Korea with a captivating narrative and an emotional strength that has allowed it to transcend borders, and that we are confident will be well received by the audience in our Region”, commented Esperanza Garay, CEO of MGE.

The new series María: La Mexicana, created by Rebeca Solano and inspired by Sergio Almazán’s book, “Acuérdate María”, will come to life on screen, in a boldly epic drama that dares to reveal what makes a young actress an icon and a legend loved by generations worldwide. The story begins in Sonora, but the young beauty soon finds herself in Mexico City, becoming the reigning screen goddess of the 1940s and 1950s. Along the way, she becomes the muse to many of the famous artists of the 20th century, as she reinvents herself and her evolving mythology, embodying strength, Mexican pride, and unparalleled determination. In María: La Mexicana, a new generation discovers an international icon ahead of his time, who shows that success is not a matter of luck; it’s a matter of guts.

For its part, El Doctor de los Milagros is a series, created by José R. Pérez, based on the thousands of miracles accredited to the Venezuelan doctor, Blessed Dr. José Gregorio Hernández. In each episode, he not only deeply explores the health situation that warrants the need for a miracle, but also exposes the life story of those who ask for or receive the miracle. Each of them poses a dilemma of everyday life, and is an opportunity for the audience to confront, in their privacy, the deepest questions about their own spirituality, about their humanity, beyond their religious beliefs.

Finally, Escalera al Cielo (Stairway to Heaven), produced by SBS Korea, is a captivating love story and an iconic production that, in its original version, successfully opened the doors to South Korean soap operas in the Latin American and US Hispanic markets, and that now it will be adapted by Telemundo. It narrates the connection between two young people destined to be together even before they were born, since their parents were close friends, so they have known each other since childhood. However, a terrible accident puts this great love to the test, erasing the memory of one of them, and forcing them to fight to prove that when love is real, souls recognize each other and meet despite any obstacle.
