Amor en toda la cara

'Amor en toda la cara' is a romantic comedy set during the COVID-19 pandemic, told through video calls that cross borders between four countries. This multicultural film explores love and modern relationships with humor, and is based on the short film 'Hold for Applause' by the same director, Gerald Barry Fillmore García, known for his participation in films such as 'Historias Lamentables', 'Los Futbolísimos' or 'Llegaron de Noche' and series such as 'Muertos SL' or 'Reyes de la Noche' by Movistar+, 'Pobre Diablo' by Max, as well as for his work as an actor and screenwriter in 'Gym Tony' and 'Little Coincidences' from Prime Video.

His next film, which will hit theaters across Spain starting June 7, 2024, before landing on SkyShowtime on June 20, features a notable cast that includes Gerald Fillmore, Vanessa Benavente, Tito Valverde and William Miller, as well as Mela Green, Carlos Santos, Beau Bowker, Laura Patalano, Rafael Sigler, Mika Kubo, Tania Watson, Nansi Nsue, Amy Lyndon, Julia Vera, Jason Owsley and Rodrigo Poisón.

It is a production by Lyo Media, The Aurora Project, Amor en todo la cara AIE and Filmika Audiovisual that tells the story of Danny, a Spaniard, and Ana, a Mexican, who begin a relationship in Los Angeles. Danny travels to Spain to renew his visa just as the pandemic begins, getting stuck in Madrid with his father, whom he can barely stand. Meanwhile, Ana discovers that she is pregnant in Los Angeles. The plot focuses on whether their long-distance relationship can survive these difficulties.

The director of the film traveled with his family from Los Angeles to Madrid for work at the beginning of March 2020 and was trapped there due to confinement. During this period, Vanessa Benavente asked him to write a scene for a casting, which evolved into a short film and finally into this film.
