Production

The film was primarily shot on location in the Parque del Príncipe, a public park of Cáceres.

The screenplay was penned by Gracia Querejeta alongside Antonio Santos Mercero.[5] Invisibles was produced by Nephilim Producciones SL and Orange Films AIE with the participation of RTVE, RTVM and Movistar+, endorsement from Canal Extremadura and support from ICAA and Junta de Extremadura.[4] The film was primarily shot on location in the Parque del Príncipe in Cáceres (with some footage shot in a nearby street and high school) from March to April 2019,[4] only using a steadycam.[1]

Release

Distributed by Wanda Films, Invisibles was theatrically released in Spain on 6 March 2020 grossing a "good" €136,761 in its opening weekend standing out from a domestic box office otherwise depressed due to the growth of COVID-19 cases, but its theatrical run was soon halted by the State of Alarm declared by the Government due to the pandemic, which closed theatres down.[6][7]
