Laura Mora and Alex Garc a L pez, directors of the first part of the series, reveal the creative process and challenges of directing One Hundred Years of Solitude, the series based on Gabriel Garc a M rquez's masterpiece, premiering December 11th on Netflix.

Its about living up to something that will always be bigger than all of us. We worked hard to build that particularity that has a distinct quality that embodies the Caribbean and encompasses the tropics, says Laura Mora.

We accomplished something I believe has never been done in Latin America, something that isn't just for Colombia or Latin America but for the whole world, says Alex Garc a Lopez.

In addition to its directors, cast members Marleyda Soto ( rsula Iguar n), Claudio Cata o (Aureliano Buend a), and Diego V squez (Jos Arcadio Buend a) share how the dream of bringing one of Latin America's most ambitious productions to the screen became a reality, honoring the legacy of Gabriel Garc a M rquez's masterpiece.

One Hundred Years of Solitude Part 1 Title: One Hundred Years of Solitude Parts: 2 Episodes: 8 episodes (P1) 8 episodes (P2) Directors Part 1: Alex Garc a L pez (E. 1, 2, 3, 7, and 8) and Laura Mora (E. 4, 5, and 6) Executive Producers: Diego Ram rez Schrempp, Juliana Fl rez Luna, Andr s Calder n, Josep Amor s, Carolina Caicedo, Alex Garc a L pez, Laura Mora, Jos Rivera, Rodrigo Garc a, Gonzalo Garc a Barcha Production Company: Dynamo Writers: Jos Rivera, Natalia Santa, Camila Brug s, and Albatros Gonz lez Script Consultant: Maria Camila Arias Directors of Photography: Paulo P rez and Mar a Sarasvati Production Designers: B rbara Enr quez and Eugenio Caballero Costume Designer: Catherine Rodr guez Casting Directors: Yolanda Serrano and Eva Leira Music: Camilo Sanabria and Juancho Valencia Editors: Irene Blecua and Miguel Schverdfinger Makeup and Hair Styling: Helmuth Karpf Visual Effects Supervision: Jose Luis Orozco Assistant Directors: Jeiver Pinto Vargas and Nataly Valdivieso G mez Filming Locations: Departments of La Guajira, Magdalena, Cesar, Cundinamarca, and Tolima in Colombia

About One Hundred Years of Solitude: Married against their parents wishes, cousins Jos Arcadio Buend a and rsula Iguar n leave their village behind and embark on a long journey in search of a new home. Accompanied by friends and adventurers, their journey culminates with the founding of a utopian town on the banks of a river of prehistoric stones that they baptize Macondo. Several generations of the Buend a lineage will mark the future of this mythical town, tormented by madness, impossible loves, a bloody and absurd war, and the fear of a terrible curse that condemns them, without hope, to one hundred years of solitude.

Published in 1967, One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the emblematic works of Gabriel Garc a M rquez, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. Considered a masterpiece of Spanish-American and universal literature and receiving enormous popular acclaim, it has sold more than 50 million copies and has been translated into more than 40 languages.
