Tragedy in the cinema: production assistant dies in accident in Chile.

The film industry has been shaken by tragic news that has left many in shock. Fabiola Flores Hernández, production assistant for the film "Soltera casada viuda divorciada 2," lost her life following an accident that occurred at the El Colorado ski resort in Chile. This incident took place on August 29, after the filming of the highly anticipated sequel, which has captivated over a million viewers and has positioned itself as a phenomenon on Netflix. The fatal accident occurred while Fabiola, 34, was being transported on a snowcat alongside other crew members. During the journey, Flores fell from the transport cage and was struck by the snow groomer, leading to a series of complications that necessitated her urgent transfer to various clinics. Despite medical efforts, the young woman remained in critical condition for five days before passing away, generating a profound impact on her colleagues and the film community. Gustavo Sánchez, producer and founder of La Soga Producciones, expressed his sorrow over Flores' death, but also emphasized the delicacy of the situation, as the accident is under investigation in Chile. This has led to the involved productions receiving instructions not to make any statements until the facts are clarified. This decision aims to avoid interfering with the investigation process and the search for accountability. The film's director, Ani Alva Helfer, and the lead actress, Gianella Neyra, have also shared their grief through emotional messages on their social media. Ani, in a simple but powerful tribute, wrote: "Rest in peace, Fabi," while Gianella expressed: "Much strength and peace," reflecting on the loss of her colleague. These messages have resonated within the film community, which has shown solidarity during such a difficult time. Fabiola Flores was not a stranger to the film world; she had previously worked as a production assistant on the film "María, me muero," a Mexican production that was part of a group of notable projects in the audiovisual field. Her death not only represents a personal loss for friends and family but also highlights the risks faced by workers behind the scenes in the film industry. Miguel Asensio, owner of Tiki Films, confirmed that the accident occurred while the production team was packing up after filming. Although he was not present at the time of the accident, Asensio emphasized the importance of the ongoing investigation. "The truth will come to light, and eventually, it will be known what happened and who is responsible," he stated, stressing the need for authorities to determine the circumstances surrounding the accident. The film "Soltera, casada, viuda, divorciada" has gone beyond being just a cinematic project; it represents friendship, personal growth, and reunions. In the first installment, the protagonists came together to help a friend overcome the death of her husband, while the sequel explores new emotions and changes in their lives, taking the story to different settings. The audiovisual industry not only celebrates box office successes but must also confront painful realities that affect those behind the scenes. The loss of Fabiola Flores serves as a reminder of the risks faced by workers on set and the importance of implementing adequate safety measures to protect those who make productions possible. As the investigation unfolds, the film community unites in collective mourning. The tragic death of Fabiola Flores Hernández has highlighted the need to strengthen workplace safety and to value the lives of those who, often invisibly, contribute to bringing to life the stories we love so much. In this context, it is crucial to take concrete steps to prevent future accidents and ensure a safer working environment for all professionals in the industry.
