Buena Gente's Theatrical Release!!

It's official. This fall, Buena Gente will be on the silver screen with its theatrical release. Our film will open Fri, Oct 9th at Coliseum Cinemas on 181 St. It will play for, at least, one week.

Thanks to the generosity of the owner, Jesus Nova, we have a golden opportunity to show the public what we made. We still want to encourage people to attend the Labor Day Wknd screenings, though. We need everyone's help for the Oct release because we need to raise, at least, $5,000 for the proper promotion. This campaign is vital to getting people in those seats to see our film. If you know of anyone who could help sponsor us, please let me know at ymaldon5@gmail.com.

Don't listen to the haters.

If you have chosen the path of having an acting career, there will always be people who will not understand that it is a profession. Society has deemed that you are only a professional if you get paid. As we know in the acting communities, this is not always possible while building your credits.

I came across a quote (unknown writer) that I feel speaks to those people outside of the acting industry that do not "get it". Enjoy

"The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it."

Lyrics:
Now and then
As I wonder
About the man
I've come to love
Now and again
Oh so suddenly
I see the way he looks
Or doesn't look at me
But oh
I still love him
Mi amor
Even though it's hard to tell
What's in his soul

How do you love me?
Where is your heart?
Tell me that you love me
As I bear my soul

"Relatos" by Miky Breton

This weekend I worked on my first TV engagement. It is being aired in one month in the Dominican Republic and in the Bronx over 3-4 Sunday evenings. The show is called "Relatos" written and directed by Miky Breton. I played a timid girl named Rossy that meets up with the wrong people and gets herself into a little bit of trouble due to the stress she's under.
