The film, Loco por ti (Crazy for You), opened in Mexican theaters on February 14 after its international debut. The film was shot on location in the Riviera Nayarit and stars Mexican actors Jaime Camil and Sandra Echeverría, with US-actress Brooke Shields in a guest role.
The Imanta Resort Punta de Mita hosted the Ben Silverman, Jay Weisleder, and Jaime Camil production. The movie was shot from July 20 through August 22, 2018, and directed by Diego Kaplan.
Loco por ti follows the life of Hank (Jaime Camil), a businessman who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit disorder, and dyslexia, all issues that he hides in order to impress Jess (Sandra Echeverría), the marketing executive he fell in love with and who accompanies him to a work event on an island. When they arrive, Hank realizes he forgot his medication. As the days go by, his true personality comes out in front of Jess.
Through his character, Camil displays what happens when a person with mental disorders and conditions stops taking their medication. According to the actor, the movie’s goal is to talk about taboo subjects and invite the public to not reject those who suffer from different ailments.
