French production company, Indeprod, and Lisbon-based Luckymatrix have inked an innovative co-production deal for simultaneous filming of two €1million ($1.1 million) budget feature films in Portugal, in a 20-day shoot planned for the third quarter of 2024.

The co-producers are seeking funding from the Cnc and French broadcasters and plan to present both projects to Portugal’s cash rebate scheme – which offers up to a 30% rebate – when the call opens this spring.
