Blackmagic Design today announced that the short film “Black Maria” will make its debut at the 2023 Dances With Films Festival, which will be held at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. “Black Maria” was shot with the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K digital film camera and graded with DaVinci Resolve Studio editing, visual effects (VFX) and audio post production software.
A modern day gangster film, “Black Maria” follows Ana Morales, the wife of a local gangster and petty thug with a penchant for violence. When the infamous Allende Brothers darken her doorstep, Ana is forced to confront her husband's horrifying truth. The film stars Michael Raymond-James (“True Blood,” “Jack Reacher”), Vanessa Vasquez (“East Los High,” “Walker”), Jason Manuel Olazabal (“Dexter,” “Bad Boys II”) and Augusto Aguilera (“The Last Thing He Told Me,” “Too Old to Die Young”). Writer/Director Marcus Albino developed the original story with production house Cloak and Cauldron co founder Barbara Estelle DeJesus.
From the beginning, the team set out to create a film that avoided the standard trope of gangster films. “I wanted to project a different kind of strength, not violence for violence’s sake, but a constant struggle to retain one’s sense of decency in this dark little corner of the world,” said Albino.
