Spanish outfit Morena Films will shoot two comedies later this year, Bon Appetit and Neon Flesh.

David Pinillos' $4.7m debut film Bon Appetit, about three young cooks who share their passion for cooking in a Swiss avant garde restaurant, stars two exciting young actors, Unax Ugalde, from competition title Che and Nora Tschirner (Rabbit Without Ears).

The film is structured as a co-production between Morena Films and Orio Produkzioak from Spain, Egoli Tossell in Germany and Zodiac Pictures from Switzerland. Beta Cinema is selling internationally.

Shooting will take place over 8 weeks from October in Northern Spain, Switzerland and Germany.

Cabezas' second feature after cult horror The Appeared, which is to be released by IFC in the US, is a co-production between Jaleo Films, De Palacio, Vaca Films and Oberon Cinematografica in Spain, Mandarin Films in France, and Sweden's Hepp Films and Film I Vast.
