Did you know?!Facts and trivia about La uruguaya (2022)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- To finance the film, the Orsai Community sold six thousand bonds at 100 dollars each, letting members buy up to 200 each; all were bought within two months, so the film was fully paid for before a producer, director or any other staff was hired.
- Director Ana García Blaya asked to join the production the same way its crowdfunding associate producers did, with her fees paid fully in movie bonds.
- The two leads, Sebastián Arzeno and Fiorella Bottaioli, were picked by an open casting run through the Orsai Community: actors posted videos on Instagram and associate producers voted in real time on the Orsai app, choosing from 9 finalist couples.
- Associate producers could join Zoom video calls between staff and cast, and were allowed to appear as extras during the shooting.
