Isabel Peña Debuts as Creator with Series 'El castillo' at San Sebastián
Screenwriter Isabel Peña, known for her collaborations with Rodrigo Sorogoyen on films and series including 'As bestas', 'Antidisturbios', 'El reino' and 'El ser querido', presents her first series as creator and writer, 'El castillo', at the San Sebastián festival, where it is cited as one of the year's standout offerings. The presentation coincides with the release of 'El ser querido', a screenplay she co-wrote with Sorogoyen. The article also cites screenwriter Eduard Sola, who, on publishing his first novel 'El nido', argued that if audiences paid attention to who writes films, stories and even news, they would be better protected against disinformation, and that if there were a tradition of seeking out authors, many things would improve. Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi are quoted describing 'La bola negra' as a film that surpasses them and has a greater purpose of existence than themselves. The piece frames Peña as a quiet but consistently successful screenwriter within Spanish audiovisual production.
