Storyboard: a graphic approach to the conception of the film

SYNOPSISAt the tender age of 7, Marcos is sold by his father to a goatherd and taken to live to the Valley of Silence, a remote area of the Sierra Morena Mountains, in Spain. There, Marcos will discover the secrets of the wild. However, once the old goatherd dies, the young boy will have to survive alone in the woods for 12 years, becoming the leader of a pack of wolves.

A film based on a true-life story

ENTRELOBOS is a feature film based on the extraordinary life of Marcos Rodríguez Pantoja, who was born in the northern province of Cordoba in 1946, in the heart of the Sierra Morena Mountains.

When Marcos turned seven, he was sold by his father to a goatherd as his helper in a remote valley of the Sierra Morena Mountains, known today as the Natural Park of Cardeña and Montoro Sierra.

When the old goatherd dies, Marcos lives alone and is completely isolated. Throughout 12 years – from 1954 to 1965 – he has no human contact and lives with a pack of wolves.

Marcos once said: “I was the King of the Valley”.

He never adapted to society and his only true dream was to return and live… ENTRELOBOS (Amongst Wolves).

STORYLINEMarcos never imagined that his life was to change so abruptly one spring afternoon. He would’ve wanted to go to school that day but he had to take care of the herd of goats. Together with his brother Juan José, Marcos spends the day taking the herd thru the Sierra Morena Mountains and at sunset, it was time to return home. That afternoon, Lucero, his faithful dog, sensing danger, becomes restless and barks incessantly. Four wolves appear out of the dark and viciously attack the herd, killing five goats. In order to settle the debt, Marcos’ father sells his son to Don Honesto, the owner of the herd.

The young boy is taken to the Valley of Silence, a remote area in the Sierra Morena Mountains, to help Atanasio, an old goatherd who lives in a cave isolated from the rest of the world, ever since he lost his family during the war. Thanks to Atanasio, Marcos learns the secrets of living in the wild: hunting, setting traps, tracking, harvesting… and a very special friendship is born. For the first time in his life, Marcos feels he is taken care of. One morning, the old man grows ill and dies in Marcos’ arms a few days later. The young boy is left alone and totally isolated, with the exception of a small herd of goats, an Eagle Owl who sleeps at the entrance of the cave and Minero, a ferret that Atanasio used for trapping rabbits. Minero will become the young boy’s pet. Together, in their lonely world, they form a family. However, Marcos needs a friend, someone who will remain with him amidst the cold winter nights, someone who will help him hunt, someone who will play. That someone will eventually appear in the form of a wolf, Lobito, a four month-old cub that will change Marcos’ life forever.

The years pass and Marcos continues to live isolated in the Valley of Silence, next to Lobito. He is now 20 years old; his hair has grown long and is dressed with deerskin. He has become yet another wild animal. His happiness suddenly comes to a halt. Ceferino, Don Honesto’s foreman, accompanied by four Guardia Civiles, gets a hold of Marcos as they chase Balilla, a fugitive on the run.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES

ENTRELOBOS is a love story between a young boy and the wild. It is also the story of friendship and loyalty, survival and personal growth.

The day I met Marcos, the man whose story inspired ENTRELOBOS, he told me that his best years were those spent isolated in the Sierra Morena Mountains, with a pack of wolves. There, in the wild, he discovered the love and friendship he never found in society. This was the starting point of a screenplay that was to become the main pillar of ENTRELOBOS.

How I discovered the story of Marcos Rodríguez Pantoja

On January 13th, 2007, the front page of El Pais published a photograph of a girl with Asian features. The headline read: “LOST IN THE JUNGLE IN CAMBODIA FOR 20 YEARS”.

The last paragraph of the article made a reference to the following link: http://www.feralchildren.com that compiles a long list of children who had been brought up amongst animals or isolated from society.

For those of us who search for stories, this webpage seemed like the perfect place to find them. At least that’s what I thought when I turned on my computer and clicked on the link. The content provided was extraordinary including a list of 137 documented cases of boys and girls who were abandoned by their parents or lost in the wild, and managed to survive thanks to their own instinct for survival or with the help of wild animals. The list appeared in chronological order, the first case dating back to the year 250, which tells the story of a young Italian boy who was raised by a goat. The latest discovery was made several months ago in Russia.

I marveled, reading each case and discovered such moving stories as the seven-year-old Rumanian boy, Traian Caldarar, who lived in the Transylvania Mountains for three years, escaping from family violence. A sheepherder found him living in a cardboard box. The boy didn’t know how to speak and was found naked, lying next to a dead dog, which was his only substance. Another story I found extremely surprising was the case of two sisters, Kamala and Amala. In 1920, Reverend Joseph Singh, a missionary who directed an orphanage in Northern India, was told of two sisters who had been seen accompanied by a pack of wolves, close to Midnapore in the Bengali jungle. Intrigued and led by the insistence of nearby farmers, the man built a hideout, just above the wolf den. As soon as the full moon rose, the missionary saw a pack of wolves appear from the cave along with two deformed and hunchbacked figures.

As I read each story, I finally read one that took place in 1965 in which the name Marcos Pantoja appeared, followed by the location: Sierra Morena, Spain and the word isolated. Suddenly, I felt a tickling sensation moving thru my body and a slight pinch in the stomach. At that very instant, I knew that behind that name, was a great story to be told. I clicked on the name Marcos and a new page appeared with more detailed information. As I read the story I was moved by how amazing it was: it had the perfect ingredients for a screenplay. Once I had read the article, I clasped my hands together and brought my forehead forward and prayed that Marcos was still alive. If the information was correct, he would be 62 years old today.

On the right hand side of the webpage I saw a small black and white photograph of Marcos. Underneath it, I found more dates and a reference in English and Catalan, to a book titled: “El Pequeño salvaje de Sierra Morena” (The Wild Boy from Sierra Morena). I clicked on the English version (I don’t speak Catalan) and the name of the writer appeared - Gabriel Janer Manila – as well as the Publisher - Prometheus Books -. I found a used book in Portland, Oregon for $6 and bought it thru Amazon.com and had it sent to me. Later I searched for Marcos Pantoja in

Google but found nothing. All information pertaining to this case is subsequent. So I decided to look up the writers name and found a link to his webpage. I discovered that, apart from being a writer and father to Mari Pau Janer (short listed Planeta Prize winner in 2002), he was also the head of the anthropology department at the University of the Balearic Islands. I sent him an email and requested a meeting. The rest of the day was spent searching for more information on Marcos. The only thing I found was a play titled Marcos, based on his reinsertion into society, written by Kevin Lewis. Several days later, I received an email from Gabriel proposing we meet in two weeks at his office at the University in Palma de Mallorca.

The day of the meeting arrived. We spoke for nearly two hours and had lunch before I flew back to Madrid. During my flight I tried to organize my thoughts and couldn’t help but ask myself: How could this amazing story have been forgotten? Who hasn’t heard of Truffaut’s “The Wild Child”? On one hand I was happy because the time spent with Gabriel emphasized a fabulous story, backed by his Doctoral Thesis and a book. On the other hand, I was worried because Gabriel had not heard from Marcos in over 15 years. He could be dead. “Gerardo, Marcos was a very fragile man, who has suffered immensely. It should come to no surprise if he has died tragically,” he told me during lunch that day.

Several weeks later I drove down A-4, heading to Añora (Cordoba), the village where Marcos was born. During the ride there, I made contact with Bartolomé, the Mayor, who I sat down with that very same day in the Town Hall. As I told him the story he seemed skeptical. He had never heard nothing like that before. However, he did manage to give me a copy of his birth certificate. Someone from the Town Hall knew a cousin of Marcos who lived in the nearby village of Alcaracejos so after visiting the house where Marcos was born, I headed to meet her. She told me she had last heard from him 13 years ago, that he lived in a cave in Alhaurín el Grande, in Malaga, that she had been to visit but didn’t find him. A neighbor informed her that Marcos used to go to the town bar to have some beer but the last time he saw Marcos, was a long, long time ago.

I returned to Madrid and the search for Marcos went into remission. Several months later, as I started preparing the next trip to Alhaurín with my producer, Jose Maria Morales, a stroke of luck unfolded. A friend of mine was getting divorced from her husband and she had hired a private detective to find out whether he had a lover. In less than 24 hours, he had managed to take a photograph of the couple kissing, at the door of a restaurant. I thought, “This guy is incredible. If he could do that, he could just as easily help me figure out if Marcos was still alive.” I phoned him, gave him the information and that same night he called back:

-Gerardo, I’ve found him. Don’t go to Malaga. He lives in a small village in Orense, write down the number”. When I hung up, my hands were shaking. I had spent the last 10 months trying to find him and I now had his number.

The phone rang several times and a voice with a strong Galician accent answered. I introduced myself and asked if Marcos lived there. The man on the other side of the line went silent until he finally answered.

– Yes, he lives here. What do you want?

I explained my search for Marcos and spoke to him about Gabriel, the anthropologist, about his home in Añora and how I met several of his relatives, who also wanted to get in touch with him.

– I’m not sure he wants to speak with you but call back in 10 minutes. He hung up the phone.

I barely waited three minutes to call back. I was desperately in need to speak with Marcos.

- Yeahhhhh!

It was him. As soon as I heard his voice I got excited. A knot in my throat barely let me speak.

– Hello, I’ve been looking for you for an entire year and at last I’ve found you. Marcos laughed.

– I’ve met some of your relatives who are also trying to get in touch with you…

After some moments of silence, he spoke:

- Well, my life has been hard…

- I know. I want to meet with you, talk to you...

- Well, come on out. I live in…How in the hell did you find me?

- I’ll tell you the whole story in person tomorrow, if you have time…

- Tomorrow? That’s fine, I’ll be here.

I hung up and just sat there in silence until a smile appeared on my face. I was finally going to meet Marcos the following day.

Children and Wolves

Alfred Hitchcock said on one occasion that one should try to avoid making films with children and animals. This has been, without a doubt, our biggest challenge.

Ever since I began to write the screenplay I decided that the main character had to be a boy from the Pedroches Valley, in the north of the Cordoba province, the place where the real Marcos was born. The people there have a distinct accent, which I especially like.

With the help of Son de Producción, a production company in Sevilla, we began the casting process with over 200 boys, between the ages of 6 and 10, from the small villages of Pozoblanco, Cardeña, Dos Torres, Villanueva etc., The production company sent me a DVD from each small village. Eleven boys were eventually scheduled to meet me in the offices of the Cordoba Film Commission. As soon as I walked in, I saw a boy of about eight, with black hair and big green eyes. As soon as we looked at each other I knew he was my main character. Manuel Camacho had never been in front a camera before but had a special natural talent for acting. What he gave us as a person and as an actor was much more than I could’ve ever dreamt for. Throughout the following months, Mercedes Almarcha worked with him and helped him become one of the best actors of his age in Spain today.

We had the boy. The next challenge was to get the wolves. They couldn’t be just any wolves. They had to be canis lupus signatus, endemic of the Iberian Peninsula, a sub species of the European wolf. In Spain, very few groups still live in captivity. Thru a friend of mine, wildlife director Joaquín Gutiérrez Acha, I had come to know of the existence of a group that he had used in his documentary “Las Montañas del Lobo”. They lived close to El Escorial, in a land owned by the José María Blanc Foundation. The person in charge of the wolves was Pepe España, a biologist, expert in wolves. I met him and the first thing he told me was he would be happy to help me but the boy could never be in the same shot with the wolves. For safety reasons. How could I film a movie titled ENTRELOBOS without being able to have the main character close to the wolves? The only solution I could think of was to try and solve the problem by editing shots and reverse shots together, which I thought was quite shoddy. The other inconvenience I had was the fact that the wolves wouldn’t give birth until the end of Spring, meaning we would have to adapt our schedule and filming to the growth of the cubs. This entailed filming at different stages throughout an entire year and thus, changing our crew for new ones. Fortunately, the heads of the film crew, were committed from the very beginning and there was always one very solid crew. Do you imagine what it would’ve been like to film each stage with a different DOP?

Goats

Never film with goats!!!! I had never imagined they could be so complicated. If I had known sooner, I would’ve changed them for sheep. Every time we had to shoot with goats, it generated panic amongst the crew and the amount of work we had to do in advance was tremendous. The simple act of filming the young boys with a herd of goats ended up being a nightmare. Drivers, cooks, production assistants, etc… had to form a long invisible human barrier in order to maintain them together, in a group. Richard and Javier, my Assistant Directors, went crazy as they thought of our deadline.

Rain

In the Cordoba province, it barely rains so flooding is a rare event. However, this winter was, as the people from Cordoba say: exaggerated. ENTRELOBOS was filmed almost entirely outdoors and the only cover we had was a cave, 120 kilometers away from Cardeña. We had to stop and postpone the shoot several times, because of the heavy rains. The flooding destroyed the fence built for the wolves as well as the roads. Some of them became impassable, others simply disappeared so we couldn’t make it to the locations and we had to modify the shooting plan. I remember those months with desperation, having to postpone the last stage of the shoot and continually having to change the schedule and work plans. By mid April, the rain ceased, the sun made its way between the clouds and spring exploded. Sierra Morena appeared covered by an intensely green grass, speckled with flowers. I had never seen that part of Spain look like that, so spectacular. So the long wait was worth it.

KLAUS BADELT’S SOUNDTRACKBiographyBorn in Germany in 1967, Klaus Badelt is a music composer, best known for his film scores. He loves to experiment and break the monotony of work: “The most boring thing is repeat oneself ".

Considered to be one of the most promising film score composers, he created the score for Pirates of the Caribbean and became famous the world over. Since then, Klaus continues to compose scores for producers such as Wolfgang Petersen, Michael Mann, Richard Donner, Francis Lawrence and Harvey Weinstein.

During this time, Klaus also takes time to work on more independent film scores together with such legendary directors like Werner Herzog. He spent 5 months in China composing Chen Kaige’s film The Promise (director of Farewell My Concubine).

In order to remain close to the directors he likes to work with, Klaus has moved his studio to Santa Monica where he also composes for European and Asian films.

Klaus prefers to be where the directors live. That is the reason why he temporarily moved to Beijing and traveled thru Chinese provinces, being inspired by songs, instruments and ancient dances in order to compose. He later moved to London where he composed the soundtrack for Killshot for John Madden (director of Shakespeare in Love).

"Some of my favorite jobs have been on independent films, which are sometimes less known ", says the composer. What he likes best is to tell wonderful stories, take care of the characters and transport the audience during 90 minutes and move them, make them laugh and cry. "If you come out of the movie feeling that your life has changed, even for a short time, I know I have succeeded".

China connected perfectly well with this philosophy. The organization of the Beijing 2008 Olympics invited him to work and was the only Western composer in the closing ceremony. Xian, the ancient capital, also commissioned him to compose the opera The Warriors of Terracotta, about the life of the Emperor. It will premiere in 2010 in the new monumental complex, declared by the UNESCO as Patrimony of Humanity.

In the West, Klaus was commissioned to compose the music of a national French icon, Le petit Nicolas. The humorous stories of the adventures of a 9-year-old boy in the nostalgic years of 1950 sold more than 10 million copies in 30 countries. In 2009, he adapted his score for film: "I wanted to center the narration around Nicolas’ experience, which manifests the mistaken interpretation of the world that we, as adults, make. "

Creating tender and moving stories such as this one are one of Klaus’ passions. His inspiration is born out of the variety of his projects. "It’s not only music. I see myself as a film director, only that I direct the music."

WILDLIFE FILM CREW

I believe it’s the first time in the history of Spanish film that a wildlife film crew has worked together with a feature film crew. The scenes in which Marcos as a boy or Marcos as an adult (Juanjo Ballesta), interact with wolves or other animals such as the eagle owl or vultures, were filmed by the fiction crew. However there were plenty of shots with wild animals or animals in captivity which were shot by another film crew, directed by Joaquín Gutiérrez Acha, one of the best wildlife directors in the world and the only Spanish director that is commissioned by National Geographic, ORF or BBC.

In the Natural Park of Cardeña-Montoro (Cordoba) we discovered Oreganal, a small land that has magnificent views and varied locations where we could film the wildlife scenes. We built a special fence that surrounded two hectares of land where we would film the scenes with wolves. For over a year, it became the headquarters of the wildlife unit as well as a large part of the rest of the crew. There, the wolves were happy, running freely and howling. Pepe España used to say that every time the white van appeared, the wolves grew happy because they knew they were going to travel to Oreganal.

The greatest challenge of having an independent wildlife film crew was to have their filming coincide with the other crew. All of those scenes, that blend both film units, were drawn out first in a storyboard which became our own unique and common guide. Whoever shot the scene first would map out all of the pertinent information, needed by the other film crew: time of day, light (sunny or overcast), inclination of the sun, lenses, filters, positions and special camera configurations. So each crew would try to shoot first so the other one had to adapt. However, both crews took turns adapting. Never did the two crews coincide due to the differences between the work methods and time restrictions that each one had. Also, the wolves worked well during the first five or six days. After that, they felt weary and there was no way they did what Pepe asked them to. The wolves aren’t domesticated. They simply obey certain orders that come from Pepe in exchange for food. As soon as their stomachs were full, they would fall asleep and the filming would come to an end.

The first encounter between the boy and the wolves was in September of 2009, when the cubs were three months old. At that age, they could interact with no risk of danger. Those are the most memorable days for me. As I watched Manuel playing with the cubs, I finally began to think this could really work. That night, having dinner in Cardeña with Pepe España, I asked him about the possibility of trying to have an adult wolf interact with the boy. If this was possible, the film would acquire another dimension. The three cubs had traveled with their parents and Lena, the mother, was fairly calm. Pepe, who was reluctant at first, accepted due to the insistence of Joaquín Gutiérrez Acha and my own. The following day, a very moving encounter took place. Manuel, who was a bit afraid at first, ended up playing with Lena. From that moment on, we were able to film him and the wolves in the same scene and nothing ever happened.

The case of Juanjo Ballesta played out differently. If anyone was to be careful, it was the wolves, not him. We needed two days for the wolves to become accustomed to his hair and costume. Each time a wolf came close, he plunged down on the ground on top of the wolf and played. I cannot imagine another Spanish actor playing the part that Juanjo played. He was the perfect person to do it. At the end of each day, he had scratches and bruises from jumping, running, climbing, playing, swimming… He was at his best, always running the show.

One of the most complicated scenes to plan was the hunt of the deer in the pool of water. The jump had to be important, some six or seven meters. Once he was in the water, he had to grab the deer by the neck, climb onto its back and act as if he were killing it with a knife. One of my assistants had decided it be a stuntman who did this. Not only because of the risk of the jump but because there might be rocks at the bottom of the pool. However, Juanjo insisted on doing it. One day he asked me to go visit the location. He wanted to see it. As soon as we arrived, he took his clothes off, ran and jumped. When he came back to the surface, he looked at me and yelled: “¡Gerardo, I’ll be sure to tell the stuntman where he has to jump, ha, ha, ha!”. In the end, everyone in the crew, stuntmen and Juanjo included, jumped. Everyone was happy.

Gerardo Olivares

Gutiérrez Acha recounts his experience in ENTRELOBOS

In the Spring of 2008 I received a call form my good friend Gerardo Olivares telling me he was working on a project and he was counting on me to help him. A few days later, we met for a coffee and I listened to what would be one of the most important tasks I would work on in my life. From that very moment, I was moved by the story. Wolves, children, Sierra Morena… As I listened to Gerardo, I was beginning to imagine how it would all take place. A first for Spanish film.

For over 20 years we have produced and filmed wildlife documentaries for television but now, thanks to Gerardo and the unconditional support of José María and Miguel Morales of Wanda Vision, we will finally see our wildlife images on the big screen.

Wolves, eagles, lynx, weasels, cranes, deer, etc.. are some of the characters we worked with. Each one is a challenge and more importantly, we had to work within a timeframe that is much more limited than normal wildlife documentaries.

Carmen Rodríguez, Salvador Suano, Esther Garduño, Herminio M. Muñiz, Nacho Ruiz, Alberto Saiz, José Ramón and myself created the small Bitis Documentales crew that was to become the wildlife film unit of ENTRELOBOS. This would not have been possible without the knowledge of biologists José España and Anais Sánchez. Although they are not part of the crew of Bitis Documentales, they have collaborated decisively in several of our productions.

I believe this movie will open a new path for Spanish film. Stories about animals and men will undoubtedly create a new landscape in our productions and a personal bet for all those implicated in this story, which I believe will be a great success.

DIRECTOR’S BIOGRAPHY/FILMOGRAPHY

Gerardo Olivares

Spanish filmmaker and screenwriter, born in Cordoba in 1964. He is the first Spaniard to win the Golden Spike Award in the prestigious SEMINCI Film Festival with his film, 14 Kilómetros.

A journey around the world

Gerardo, an insatiable traveler, began to journey around the world in 1987, while he studied at the University of Madrid. At 20, he asked his brother to let him use his Vespa and for the next four months he traveled from Lapland, where he worked on his first article on the nomads that live in the Artic Pole, to Madrid. His article and photographs were published in Los Aventureros magazine, where he began working a few months later for journalist and writer Enrique Meneses, whom he had always regarded as a master. A year later, he traveled across a good part of the Sahara desert with a Seat Panda. A first of many trips to this desert. During this first trip, he began to create what would be his first documentary project: La Ruta de las Córdobas, a trip from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, covering 36 cities and villages named Cordoba. During a year and a half he journeyed the American continent in a jeep and the result was a documentary series comprised of 8 episodes that was aired on TVE with high ratings. Two years later, in 1984, he travels thru Africa – from Morocco to South Africa, and later Egypt to direct La Ruta de los Exploradores, in co-production with TVE. In 1997 he travels thru Asia - from Spain to Singapore, with two trucks in order to direct the series La Ruta de Samarcanda, the most viewed program on TV, channel 2, in the year 2000, obtaining the GECA Award for Highest Audience Viewing.

Fiction

In the year 2005, after many years of writing and directing documentaries, he took his chance in the world of fiction with the help of producer José María Morales (WANDA Films) and directs La gran final, a film shot in Mongolia, the Sahara Desert and the Amazons in Brazil. He received numerous international prizes and awards and was selected to participate in the International Berlin Film Festival.

In 2006 he wrote and directed 14 Kilómetros, a film about the drama of African immigration. This film was awarded more than 15 international prizes, thus turning him into one of the most socially committed directors in Spain. He is currently working on his third feature film, Entrelobos, which features Juan José Ballesta, Sancho Gracia, Carlos Bardem, Vicente Romero, Luisa Martín, Eduardo Gómez, Antonio Dechent, etc.
