Discover the secrets of production design with Lorenza Manrique, a multiple Ariel Award-winning production designer and Goya nominee. In this masterclass, you’ll learn what’s rarely taught: how to organize an art department, coordinate workshops, storage, locations, and shooting, and design on a low budget without losing visual impact.

With over 30 years of experience, Lorenza has worked on films like Aro Tolbukhin: In the Mind of the Murderer, Chicogrande, Las buenas hierbas, and Un mundo raro, collaborating with renowned directors and earning four Ariels for Best Art Direction. A unique opportunity to learn from one of Mexico’s most respected voices in production design.
