French production company, Indeprod, and Lisbon-based Luckymatrix have inked an innovative co-production deal for simultaneous filming of two €1million ($1.1 million) budget feature films in Portugal, in a 20-day shoot planned for the third quarter of 2024.
Both films are auteur-driven, French language genre films – slasher horror pic, “Mr. Morgan,” and paranormal thriller, “Behind.”
The co-producers are seeking funding from the Cnc and French broadcasters and plan to present both projects to Portugal’s cash rebate scheme – which offers up to a 30% rebate – when the call opens this spring.
They believe that the twin shoot will generate economies of scale, lowering the cost per pic by 30%.
The creative team, crew, and equipment will stay in the same location, while shooting in two nearby locations – a lighthouse and a period building. They are currently scouting locations along the coast of Portugal.

French action movie “Roads of Fear” heads the Cannes market slate for Vienna-based sales agency Fizz-e-Motion.
Emmanuel Saez’s film follows Elon Coretti, the only son of Sauveur Coretti, one of the mafia bosses in the South of France.

As well as paying more taxes, Abigail Disney wants to see all workers rewarded fairly.
