Ben Errington is joined by Carlota Pereda, the director of Piggy, a Spanish-language coming of age horror thriller, which has its UK premiere at FrightFest on Monday 29th August!

Carlota Pereda is a film and TV director from Madrid. Pereda started her career in television and was nominated for the Television Academy’s Iris Award for “Águila Roja” (“Red Eagle”). Her short films “Las Rubias” (“The Blondes”) and “Cerdita” (“Piggy”) have screened at numerous national and international festivals, with the latter winning over 90 awards. “Piggy” is her first feature film and screened at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.

Not everyone loves the summertime. For overweight teen Sara it means dealing with a constant barrage of mockery, judgment and abuse from the cool girls. But today is different. A mysterious man arrives in the village and kidnaps her tormentors. Someone has finally stood up for her. Sara sees it all and the unknown man has seen her too. It’s a wordless pact that neither will betray as a series of crimes rock the village and the fingers of suspicion are pointed in every direction.
