Lucas Akoskin: Guido, Producer

Lucas Akoskin has spent most of his life near a camera. By his early twenties, he had already worked as an actor in several Argentine hit TV shows.

Lucas was instrumental at bringing together one of the industry's key players, Harvey Weinstein, with Argentine art connoisseur Eduardo Costantini, which resulted in a partnership to produce and distribute films: The Latin American Film Fund.

Gastón Pauls: Marcos

Born in Argentina, his actor training was under Carlos Gandolfo and Julio Chávez. His break came in 1994 with the teen series Montaña Rusa. From that moment he knew it was going to be difficult to step away from a heartthrob image, and decided to carefully select his next projects to consolidate his image as an actor. A long career in TV followed with hit series such as Los Especiales de Alejandro Doria, El Rafa, Alas, La Cautiva, Tiempo Final and Tumberos. He transitioned to film in 1994 where he worked in multiple films including Beauty, La Sonámbula and El Desvío. His breakthrough year came in 2000 with five movies including Nueve Reinas, Nueces para el Amor, and Felicidades. Most recently, Gaston will be seen in Guerrilla, directed by Steven Soderbergh.
