Miguel Varoni, one of the two directors of Señora Acero (60×60′), Telemundo’s new original super series, after seeing the rough cuts of the first four episodes without music, effects or color correction, “without the magic,” he says the product is simply wonderful.“The greatness of the book and the quality of the cast make it a wonderful super series,” Varoni told PRODU at the Pachuca airport, 90 minutes outside Mexico City. At this location Telemundo is shooting scenes about the planes used by Señora Acero, played by Mexican actress Blanca Soto. During the interview, Varoni praised the beauty of Mexico’s locations and natural settings, as well as the quality of his crew, especially of director of Photography Damián Aguilar and assistant director Mauricio Corredor.He also spoke about his own directing style, considered by his team “fun, relaxed and with lots of humor.” “If you don’t have fun working in this business, it’s better not to do it,” said Varoni, who was born in Argentina, grew up in Colombia, and has been working for Telemundo in Miami as actor and director for the past 13 years.Señora Acero’s other director is Walter Doehner, with vast experience at Argos, production company in charge of this project on behalf of Telemundo.
