Mexican director Tatiana Huezo achieved a major milestone as her upcoming fiction project, 'Galerna', captured the highest accolade at Impulso Morelia, the dedicated works-in-post showcase of the Morelia Film Festival.
The annual industry platform serves as a vital launchpad for emerging and established filmmakers across the region, offering crucial visibility as projects approach completion during the festival's ten-day run culminating on October 25.
According to industry reports by Variety, the top honor—named the José María Riba Award and sponsored by Cinépolis—underscores the strong artistic merit and commercial anticipation surrounding Huezo's transition into this new narrative endeavor.
With the festival concluding later this week, winners like 'Galerna' and fellow standout project 'Homeboys' are expected to generate increased international distribution interest as they move into their final post-production stages.
