Like a heavyweight champion, writer/director Umberto Gonzalez delivers a knockout hit. On a small budget and shot on mini-DV, Umberto Gonzalez is the next young director to keep an eye on.
The star Alain Mora is a talent worth remembering. His colleague Ryan Surratt is charming and likable. And Eva Longoria? Well, our language is infinite and no words could describe her eternal class, professionalism, warmth and beauty. She deserves a major thank you for being a part of this production! Alan Samuels, the sound mixer, is superb. It was a privilege to have "Big Al" be on the set and share his wisdom and experiences going back to Doug Liman and Swingers. Cinematographer Edwin Figueroa moves the camera around elegantly and maximized the production's limited resources. Editor Carlos Berrios makes it all come together so beautifully and it'd be remiss not to acknowledge his contribution.
Umberto Gonzalez is set to make his directorial debut in 2006. I can't wait to see this big guy shine and breakthrough on the big screen next year.
