EXCLUSIVE: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness star Xochitl Gomez and Latin Grammy nominated and Rebelde star Maite Perroni are set to lead No Te Olvides, an original musical film from producers Tony Estrada (The Mother, Menacer and Me) and Kristina Rivera (The Mule, Sully), with High School Musical: The Musical:The Series director Kimberly McCullough directing.
Production is set to start this fall.
Written by Nerris Nevarez-Nassiri, No Te Olvides (Don’t Forget) is an intergenerational story that follows three generations of Mexican-American women on a journey that sparks healing, humor, and unexpected romance. The film centers on María (Gomez), a closeted twenty-something Chicana who—against the wishes of her workaholic mother, Celestina (Perroni)—sets out to fulfill her grandmother’s dying wish: to return to the rural Mexican village where she was born before Alzheimer’s erases her memories for good. Perroni will play the role of Celestina.
The project reps the inaugural feature from Estrada’s purpose-driven entertainment and wellness development company, Con Ganas. Kristina Rivera produces alongside Estrada, with Peter and Fernando Bandera of Bandera Brothers Entertainment serving as executive producers.
