Oscar-winning production company Fabula (“A Fantastic Woman”) and Venice Critics’ Week Grand Prize winner Tana Gilbert (“Malqueridas”) are developing Where’s Narumi?, a docu-series looking at the 2016 murder of Japanese student Narumi Kurosaki from her former partner Nicolas Cepeda.
The project marks a collaboration between Gilbert and the Chilean production house founded by Pablo and Juan de Dios Laraín, which recently earned two Oscar nominations in 2024 for “El Conde” (Best Cinematography) and “The Eternal Memory” (Best good documentary). .
Gilbert, whose connection to the case stems from having attended the same university as Zepeda, brings a personal perspective to the project.
