From the team who brought you the DIY theatrically released Indie Spirit Award Nominated film On the Outs, comes the based on a true story film Entre Nos directed by Paola Mendoza & Gloria La Morte. The very talented Mendoza gave us the reviting performance in the Michael Skolnik co-directed On the Outs as "Marisol," is also a writer and a filmmaker. Entre Nos, which is also being co-produced by Skolnik, is her feature length debut. The film is nearing completion. Here is the synopsis:
Mariana (Mendoza) is determined to keep her family together. Her children, Gabriel (Sebastian Villada Lopez), 9, and Andrea (Laura Montana Cortez), 6, have grown up without their father. Antonio immigrated to the United States years earlier in order to make a better life for his family. Finally after many years of separation the family is reunited in the US.
After coming home late from work one night Antonio announces he has found work in Miami and will be moving there alone. He will send for the family when he is settled.
Days go by and Mariana does not hear from him. Worried and desperate, she goes to her only friend’s home only to find out Antonio is not coming back. With no more than fifty dollars to her name, Mariana must find work. She must keep the dream alive.
Mariana makes homemade empanadas (meat patties), which she tries to sell on the streets, however this quickly fails. With all her options closing in on her, Mariana turns to the city’s trash in order to put food on the table. With Gabriel and Andrea working beside her collecting cans, the family finds the most stability they have known since their arrival. And it is during these challenging moments that the family triumphs.
In Entre Nos, Mariana, Gabriel and Andrea take us on a remarkable journey where we bear witness to a family’s commitment to survival and are inspired by their hope for the American dream...one soda can at a time.
