Paloma Negra, one of Mexico’s most prominent production companies, founded by producer Cristina Velasco and distinguished directors Rigoberto Perezcano (“Carmin Tropical”) and Jorge Hernandez Aldana (“The Night Buffalo”), has boarded Michael Rowe’s “Last Weekend,” a topical cross-border child custody battle drama shot in Southern California and Mexico.

“Last Weekend” just wrapped filming on Oct. 15, per the Mexico City-based Australian filmmaker, likely best known for his debut feature “Leap Year,” which took home the Cannes best first feature Camera d’Or award, described by Variety as a “raunchy and acutely minimalist study of urban alienation, romantic longing and bedroom practices no one should try at home.”
