Hope! We are on time – Project status report

The team of Hope the series, headed by Javier Peña (HOPE) and Mariano Baratech (Producer, El Gatoverde Producciones), would like to thank you once again for your commitment and your contribution to this project that we are so excited about, and we feel it is very necessary in these times of climate emergency. The docuseries, step by step, is getting on track thanks to your support. 

We want to keep you up to date with the steps that are being taken to create a docuseries of the highest quality. We are committed to all of you and to spreading the solutions that HOPE! We still have time proposes to us!. After the end of the crowdfunding, we want to tell you what we have been working on for the last two months:  

• Javier Peña and the team of scriptwriters, formed by Jaime Bartolomé, Romi Ballester and Franco Delle Donne, have already advanced the first version of the script of the first chapter of the series. The work that has been developed, with total creative independence, is also being advised and reviewed by the project’s committee of scientists and advisors. Everything is focused on producing a strong script so that the first episode will be a strong hook for the development of the whole project. 
• While the script team develops the project, the team of El Gatoverde Producciones maintains contacts and meetings in the audiovisual industry with the aim of finding and planning solid funding and adding partners who believe in and support this ambitious project.  
• We would like to inform you that the “Hope Climate Action Foundation” has been established, which will be chaired by the scientist Fernando Valladares. The first task the Foundation is working on is to support the development of scripts and the creation of a carbon footprint offsetting plan for the production of the docuseries. This consists of, firstly, planning a production and filming with the smallest possible carbon footprint and secondly, compensating the generated footprint with concrete actions.  

This is the line we are taking in the development of HOPE! We still have time with the objective of shooting it during the second half of 2022, and we will be able to see it in the first half of 2023.
