Margarita Huguet, Best Production Direction for the transoceanic odyssey of 'The Snow Society'

The thousand professionals who worked on both sides of the Atlantic on 'The Snow Society' are just a small sample of the production effort of J. A. Bayona's film, recognized by the Film Academy with the Goya for Best Production Direction to Margarita Huguet.

Huguet, who has worked on all of J.A.'s works. Bayona except his latest adventures in Hollywood (Jurassic World y The Rings of Power), assumed the position of Production Director for the first time in the Catalan director's filmography after having held positions as production assistant or location manager.

The result has been a mammoth project filmed in different locations in Spain, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile that has had the global support of Netflix and a creative and technical team of up to a thousand people, with film sets with nearly 400 professionals.

This world-class feature film has allowed Margarita Huguet address unprecedented challenges in your career, possibly "unnatural" with what the production team's usual work entails: "The greatest challenge has been learning to live with the lack of control, going out to dance every day as the mountain dictated. There were days when we had to go up and we couldn't do it; we changed the shooting plan constantly to adapt to what the director and the film needed, which was true."

Huguet does not hesitate to recognize that The snow society ha sido un proceso duro, pero que ha sido posible gracias a la ayuda de “un equipo increíble”. En cualquier caso, la productora no duda en reconocer que tras este proyecto agradecerá abordar una producción “más pequeña”, para tomar fuerzas y “volver a hacer algo grande”.
