Located in Gorafe, Granada (Spain), “La Casa del Desierto” (The
House of the Desert) appears as an ideal place to escape from the
connected world in the plot of chapter 2, “Smithereens”, which
stars actor Topher Grace, of Spider Man 3 fame, among other films.
The episode was filmed last summer over a period of two full
days. The production and filming team showed great interest in
the house throughout their visit, captivated by La Casa’s multiple
perspectives and focus points.
“La Casa del Desierto” is a pioneering Guardian Glass project located
in the Iberian Peninsula. The objective was to test Guardian Glass
products and solutions in the most extreme weather conditions and
thus demonstrate the importance of selecting the appropriate type
of glass for the windows of any home.
La Casa was also chosen as a shooting location for other film and
advertising productions, fashion shoots or photojournalism. In
this type of collaboration, major producers, firms and brands have
found “La Casa del Desierto” to be an extraordinary place which
they can use to reach and inspire their target audiences.
First released in 2011, Black Mirror is an English science fiction
anthology based on independent episodes that explores a
disturbing and dark future which could be ours if the current
greatest technological innovations were misused or mismanaged.
It counts an Emmy Award, a Peabody Award and a British Academy
Television Craft Award among its most notable achievements. The
series has built up a base of millions of fans and followers around
the world.
