LONDON—March 8, 2022—Today, Prime Video announced that Pedro Alonso (Money Heist, El ministerio del tiempo), María Pedraza (Toy Boy, Élite), Carlos Scholz (Toy Boy, Feria: La luz más oscura), Óscar Jaenada (Hernán, Luis Miguel: La serie), and Lela Loren (American Gods, Altered Carbon) will lead the cast of the new Spanish original movie Awareness, which has just begun filming. Daniel Benmayor (Xtremo, Tracers, Bruc) directs the film, which will be shot in Cataluña, Madrid, and Castilla y León, and will be released soon on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

In Awareness we meet Ian (Scholz), a rebellious teenager who lives with his father (Alonso) on the outskirts of society. The two survive by running small scams using Ian's ability to generate visual illusions upon unsuspecting victims. However, things get complicated when his powers get out of control in public and two opposing sides begin to hunt him down. On the run, Ian will have to decide which side he will fight with in the war he has been forced into.

“We are very happy to start this production and have such a strong cast, with very well-known local faces who also happen to have spectacular international careers,” said María José Rodríguez, head of Spanish Originals, Amazon Studios. “We can't think of any better ambassadors to present this ambitious sci-fi production, which also has an incredible technical team behind the cameras.”

“Movies are an important feature in our catalogue and our local Spanish team are building an exceptional slate of exciting new titles for Prime Video audiences,” said Georgia Brown, head of European Originals, Amazon Studios. “Awareness stands out as a hit with its perfect combination of thrills, superpowers and we are delighted to be collaborating with Federation Spain to bring this to life.”

The original movie Awareness will be produced by Federation Spain, led by Juan Solá, Nacho Manubens, and Toni Sevilla, with Mark Albela as executive producer. A cocktail of genres —action, thriller, and teen sci-fi— featuring a talented international cast, Awareness promises an exciting and fast-paced formula for Prime Video viewers.

Awareness will join the thousands of TV shows and movies in the Prime Video catalogue, including Spain-produced original series such as Celebrity Bake Off España, El corazón de Sergio Ramos, La leyenda de Sergio Ramos,  and El Desafío: ETA, El Cid, La Templanza, LOL: Si te ríes, pierdes, G.E.O: Más Allá del Límite,  and award- winning and critically acclaimed global Amazon Original series and films, including The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Fleabag, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Coming 2 America, Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, Hunters, The Boys, Homecoming, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Good Omens,  and Carnival Row, all on Prime Video, which is available at no extra cost for Amazon Prime members.
