is developing a pair of daring female-driven projects, “Casa Girls,” a series about four twentysomething single women living in Casablanca, and a drama based on a real-life sex scandal set against an agricultural backdrop in Spain.
In between those two shoots, the much sought-after director is developing the scripts of both “Casa Girls” and her next feature film, which will be inspired by a New York Times investigative article “Workers in Spain’s Strawberry Fields Speak Out on Abuse” by Aida Alami. “Although the girls all come from different horizons they go through similar struggles with sex, love, intimacy issues and difficulty to find their sense of selves and womanhood in a society that seems schizophrenic at times,” said Marrakchi, who is attending theFilm Festival and is part of the jury of the Atlas industry meetings. Marrakchi said she started developing the series project after making a documentary on the issue of sex in Morocco that led her to interview many young people.
Following her work on Eric Rochant’s “The Bureau,” Marrakchi said she was inspired by her collaboration with Chazelle on “The Eddy,” which gave her a chance to discover the world of jazz. The director said she was given a list of films to watch for references, including movies by John Cassavetes, Jean Rouch, Jean-Luc Godard, as well as documentaries on Chet Baker and Thelonious Monk, among others.
