Interesting facts

Gloria del Pacífico is a 2014 Peruvian epic war historical drama film written, directed and produced by Juan Carlos Oganes as his twelfth film. Starring Reynaldo Arenas, Carlos Vertiz, Gustavo Mac Lennan, Lilian Nieto, Pold Gastello, Juan Manuel Ochoa and Paloma Yerovi. It is the first part of a trilogy about what happened during the War of the Pacific between Peru and Chile, which occurred in 1879 and 1883. The film premiered on November 6, 2014, in Peruvian theaters.

Production

The inspiration of the director Juan Carlos Oganes to write the film came from watching in his childhood a series made by the State in 1979 for the centenary of the war called "Nuestros Héroes de la Guerra del Pacífico" (Our Heroes of the Pacific War). In 2004, he started historical research for 6 years.

In 2009, Juan Carlos Oganes did not get investment from any private company, so he decided to sell his entire company (Emporium Digital Studios) for $150,000 to finance the film. The final budget reached $200,000.

Pre-production began in 2009 and principal photography began on November 16, 2010, and culminating in April 2013. It was filmed in the Rímac pampas, the historic center of Lima, the Morro Solar in Chorrillos, Ancón, San Bartolo, Barranco and Tacna. 700 uniforms for Peruvian, Chilean and Bolivian soldiers had to be made, as well as accessories and utensils for soldiers and officers to be used by 600 actors and extras.
