Venezuelan executive Carmen Urbaneja, VP of Production of Novelas at Telemundo Studios and executive producer of Tierra De Reyes, said this is her fourth project with company (the other three were Pasión Prohibida, Santa Diabla and En Otra Piel), adding that the production represents a completely different challenge.“This is the wonderful thing about Telemundo, it has a wide range of telenovelas and scripts to choose from. There are great differences among the four projects I’ve been involved with, including Tierra De Reyes,” Urbaneja told PRODU from her Telemundo Studios offices in Doral, FL.She said Tierra De Reyes (120×60’) is the kind of novela any producer would want to take on. “It has a great script, excellent opportunities for actors and poses interesting challenges, with three protagonist couples and wonderful antagonist characters,” she added. Urbaneja said the novela is mostly shot on location: “we’re talking about 80% on location and 20% in studio.”
