Se Fija! was intrigued by the tag lines for the film, “Shoes, Sex and Español” or “What happens when a Mexican a Cuban and a Puerto Rican meet at the reading of their father’s will?” With that, we had to attend. And we weren’t disappointed.
The writer, director and one of the stars of the film, Maylen Calienes, is a very funny and quirky (as she says) woman. She talked a bit about how much this short meant to her and her hope to turn it into a feature film. And by the full house in attendance, she might just do it!
The other two main stars of the film are producer/actor Johnny Ray Rodríguez and Ricardo Vargas. And to find out more on this production go to their site here.
To paraphrase the filmmakers “we wanted to add our granito de arena (grain of sand) to the Hollywood mix.”
