EXCLUSIVE: Activist Artists Management has signed Chilean actress Renata González Spralja (The Wave) for representation, with Bernie Cahill and Justin Deanda to run point for the new client.
Most recently, Spralja wrapped production on The Wave (La Ola), a musical feature directed by Oscar and Goya winner Sebastián Lelio (A Fantastic Woman). Produced by Pablo Larraín’s Fabula, the film inspired by a true story from 2018 tells the story of a Chilean student who gets involved in a feminist movement on her university. Suddenly, she finds herself becoming a central figure in the movement.
Previously, Spralja worked with Larraín and Fabula on Llévame al Cielo (Take Me to Heaven), the first Chilean Disney+ series, which is slated for release worldwide this year. She made her screen debut opposite Giancarlo Esposito in Blackbird, a four-episode English-language marketing miniseries produced by Fabula for Nissan, and continues to be represented by Constanza Arena of Agencia La Luz in Chile.
