Animator Diego Mauricio Alvarez's screenplay "THE ADVENTURES OF ANA POMBO" is the winner of the 2008 calls of the Colombian Ministry of Culture under the category: Screenplay Development for Children's Audience.

"THE ADVENTURES OF ANA POMBO" was inspired by the work of the most important Colombian poet and children's writer of all times, Rafael Pombo.

The international producer and script writer JUANA URIBE will be the screenwriting adviser for the project.

Diego's company, LEPIXMA PICTURES, hope that it will become the seed of their first feature film project.
