Ester Expósito is in talks to star in "Stink Eye," the forthcoming debut feature from Colombian director and writer Cristina Sánchez Salamanca, Variety reports.

The Spanish star, widely recognized for her breakout turn on the Netflix drama "Elite," has signed a letter of intent to headline the project, titled "Malmirada" in Spanish.

Sánchez Salamanca previously gained industry traction with her short film "Bebé," which was selected to screen at the Tribeca Festival in 2022. "Stink Eye" represents her first foray into feature-length filmmaking.

## Market Presentation

The project is currently seeking international backing and co-production partners through its participation in the Iberseries Co-Production and Financing Forum.

For emerging Latin American filmmakers, securing interest from high-profile Spanish talent has become an essential strategy to unlock cross-border European financing and global pre-sales.

Expósito's potential attachment offers the project immediate commercial visibility as it moves through industry pitching rounds and secures co-production commitments across Europe and the Americas.
