East Coast Premiere

It was an honor to screen my film at Maryland University. I had to take the opportunity and make the trip to Washington DC.  Also,  it was pretty cool that I went to another state to screen my film. Much love to the Latino Student Union for making it happen. Go Terps! They really came through and supported.

For me it was an opportunity to get a different perspective of people from the East Coast. I've learned that Latinos on the West Coast are totally different from the East Coast. And what I learned from the audience, they were being exposed to a different type of Latino movement in the West Coast.  For the most part their are two Latino groups that are present in the West Coast ... Mostly, Mexicans and Salvadoran/Central Americans come in second in a good medium size. Their are other latino groups of course, but they do not come in numbers like the two groups I mentioned.   Compared to the East Coast ... Latinos are "one" for the most part. They are very meshed together.  In DC,  Salvadorans are the most populated Latinos, but at the same time there are a good size of Dominicans, Peruvians, Columbians, and Mexican. So for the most part it is mixed.  It is not so much mix in the West Coast. And because of the mix culture in DC, the Latino Experience is probably a lot different ... I find that very interesting and I am learning that myself. I just wanted to point that out.  But it was cool that the audience learned a different side and something new. They seemed to be intrigued so thats good! Nothing wrong with a little education.

And of course people were interested in the Spanish Hip-Hop. Its always been my hook! The audience were not aware of Salvadorans being part of the underground hip-hop scene. I always get excited when I expose something new to people. Overall, everything went well, I was happy with the turnout and happy to see people were curious.  Little by little the film is growing.  Washington D.C. will always have a special place in my heart.

The After Day Screening!

I just want to thank everyone for all the support that I have been receiving for my film. I am just glad people are understanding the film and appreciate the message that is being giving. I am now realizing that I have something special. My film is really touching peoples heart. And that is all that I can ask for.  I am just trying to make a difference. And it looks like I am doing it! This was a special screening because I was in my hometown and more important good friends and my family came out to support me. I just want to keep the momentum going! I hope to touch everyone and hope good things happen from all this.  I am ready to show that there is a "New kind on the block."

Join the movement!

Thanks for showing love to "Words of Revolution" - Los Angeles screening

It was a wonderful night in Los Angeles! I don't think I have ever experienced this kind of feeling. It looks like my film is touching people and thats all I can ask for. People came out today because they were curious of what "Words of Revolution" was all about.  I am just grateful that people came and had an open mind. The response was nothing but positive. Its a good feeling when people respond in a good matter. I feel that is always a challenge! But it looks like people were feeling the film. Now its just keeping the movement  going! Thank you all to who came to the screening. The much support is well received!

Also much love to DOWNTOWN INDEPENDENT THEATRE... you make dreams come true!

130 people came out to experience the film

July 15 - July 18 Publicity week for "Words of revolution

This was a special week.  Being in Los Angeles is such a special place because it is the entertainment capital of the world. Anybody in the TV and Flim business, this is the place to be... only because of the opportunity and exposure you can get. My game plan was to do what I can to get the word out for my film. With help with good friends, anything was double.  I don't have a agent... I am not known ... but I have a product. That product is my documentary. It is amazing how people respond when you actually have something to show.  I am very thankful for completing "Words of Revolution." Without "Words of Revolution," I am nothing! That is the truth. It was a busy week! But I put in some time and work... and it paid off.  Thanks to a friend it was all possible.

LA LA Screening

For the last couple months or so I have been busting my ass to put together another screening.  The venue will be in Downtown LA.  I'm really looking forward to this event. Following the screening their will be live performances by the artist from the film. We are all getting together once again. The last time we were together was in 2011 "Dia Del Salvadorenos." Its going to be like one big family.

I am expecting a good turn out. So we will see what happens. I'm living it!
