Released in Spain by Universal on Nov. 10, “Favor” will receive its market premiere at this week’s American Film Market.

In her dying wish, she asked to be buried in the family vault. When the Gallardos refuse, they receive letters from Amparito, revealing skeletons in the closet and damaging home truths, turning their lives upside down.
“‘Just One Small Favor,’ is a screwball, situation comedy, with acerbic wit and a good dose of bad blood,” said Macías.
“The whole story plays out over one,...

I just flew in from Fantastic Fest, and though I'd like to exclaim "boy, are my arms tired," to say that would be to ignore the exhaustion experienced by the rest of my body. You wouldn't think sitting in a theater watching movies for a couple of days could waste you like this, but here's a little secret: there's more to a film fest than watching movies.
