Played the Chinese Theatre
Las Hadas
Las Hadas de la Sombra
To make her children finish their dinner, a mother spins a folktale about the creature that comes in the night for whatever is left behind — a small lie that grows teeth.
A Spanish-language dark fantasy with a Guillermo del Toro streak, Las Hadas de la Sombra began as a small domestic lie — a mother inventing a bedtime story about the thing that comes for the food children leave behind. Written and directed by Ryan Jenkins and produced and edited by Spencer Sherry, it became the studio’s first film to play Hollywood: an official selection of Dances With Films, screened at the storied TCL Chinese Theatre.
It is the studio at its most tender and its most frightening — a folktale about hunger, family, and the things we tell each other in the dark.
