Hello team!
This is Marino. I want to start by expressing my deepest gratitude to everyone who joined this crazy adventure in the desert roads of Lancaster. When I arrived in Los Angeles just a month ago I had no idea I would be directing this film, but it became possible thanks to finding this dream team in record time.
This experience will always remind me to keep moving forward, and to believe in whatever force is behind all the beautiful, unexpected, and uncontrollable coincidences and connections that happen when you commit to your vision.
I will be using this blog to share every milestone and achievement our film reaches from our recent wrap to upcoming screenings, festivals selections, awards, and more.
Although this space is mainly meant to keep our team connected it is also open to anyone out there who’s curious about the project and wants to follow its journey.
Stay tuned!
