TheWrap.com–one of our favorite ‘industry’ web sites–staged a recent screening of A Better Life, Chris Weitz’ touching and powerful independent film about immigration, honor, and parenthood. There’s growing buzz about Oscar possibilities here, especially about Mexican actor Demián Bichir. So it was especially nice that there was a wide-ranging and good-natured conversation with Weitz and Bichir after the screening, and Se Fija! was there, grabbing a little shaky-cam audio and video that’s well worth the view. Click on the window below for part one, or go to the Se Fija! channel on YouTube and enjoy.
By the way, A Better Life may have gotten next-to-no theatrical distribution, but it is already available for your viewing pleasure. You can rent it at Blockbuster or on Netflix, or you can view it instantly for $3.99 on Amazon.com.
