Let’s bring an urgent, powerful story to the world stage.
My name is Rodolfo Pereira, and I'm the writer of Curfew, a human rights-centered political thriller that has won 17 international screenplay awards, including top honors in Paris, Berlin, New York, Toronto and now—official selection to pitch at Cannes’ Marché du Film, 2025.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to present Curfew to global producers, distributors, and financiers in the world’s most important film market. But I need your help to get there.
About Curfew
Curfew is a dramatic thriller based on true events, set in the chaos of 1980s Peru during the violent insurgency of the Shining Path. When two young Peruvian journalists disappear while covering a massacre, a seasoned American war correspondent and his former lover — now a renowned reporter — risk everything to uncover the truth.
It is a love letter to journalism and a tribute to the over 1,600 journalists who have been killed worldwide in the last 30 years.
Why Cannes?
We’re thrilled to announce that Curfew was selected to pitch live at the Marché du Film 2025 (Cannes) — one of the world’s top film industry events. This recognition alone proves the project’s international relevance. Attending this market is crucial to:
- Secure co-production partners and distributors
- Build global awareness for the film
- Connect with press and advocacy partners
