$9,000 is not bad for a short film. My son is a gay cholo. Throws blows by day and a professional female impersonator at night. No that is not right, he throws blows on his off nights, when he is not dancing. Quobole y que! LOL

Bravo!

The theme is one that is often approached in ignorant disconnection or informed over-indulgence. Instead, this breaths raw honesty. Very moving.

Poetry is found in all sections of our cities. Other filmmakers are falling under the trap of stereotyping “urbanity” even when they consider themselves underground storytellers. Not here, by any means. Very moving and insightful.

Thanks for this piece.

Congratulations, this is a beautiful and touching movie.

I am finishing a feature on underground Latino Hip Hop and starting pre-production on very gifted Latino painter who went on the wrong side of the law.
Would love to hear from you as I am looking for a DP.
I was so moved by Joe Jimenez.

My best,
