Deadlines Approaching!
Buenos dias!
First and foremost, let's get down to biz... submission deadlines:
TOMORROW, FRIDAY, 04/10
NYILFF
HBO/NYILFF Short Film Contest
WEDNESDAY, 04/15*
Share UR Story
*IF you want to be considered for the trailer - otherwise, you can submit whenever you want.
Speaking of the commercial, we had a GREAT creative meeting with the folks at HBO, who are developing our campaign, and we are psyched! They presented 3 directions, all of which were beautiful and super cool, but one was the universal favorite. WE LOVE IT! It's bold, edgy and street, but also sophisticated, artsy and polished. Plus, it really focuses on the community, which is key. I can't wait until it's all put together and I can show it to you!
Tomorrow, I have a follow-up conference call with a potential sponsor in the financial category. I already know they have preliminary interest, but I'm not yet sure what that means. PLEASE - say a little prayer, have a moment of silence, light some incense, whatever your thing is - but please send me good vibes tomorrow @ noon. In this economy, we need ALL of the help we can get. THANKS!

NYILFF Opening Night is Set!
As of this weekend, we have officially locked in the '09 NYILFF Opening Night film! Yay! The producers and director are all super-excited about it and the star of the film (to remain nameless, for the time being) is super-psyched to support the film and the festival. Awesome. Now, Closing Night...
On another positive note, we have interest from the media partner we approached for this national Cinedulce program I'm putting together with Remezcla. We have a bunch of details to sort through, but they gave us very positive feedback late last week. Could be major.
Did you see "Sugar" this weekend? Thoughts?

A tough little girl will stop at nothing to have a tea party with her older brother. Super cute.

It's SUGAR time!
"Sugar is immensely satisfying in the way it drives a stake into the heart of the cliches that send most baseball movies to the benches." Peter Travers, Rolling StoneEarlier this week, I was fortunate to attend the official premiere of the beautiful, moving new film, SUGAR, which opens TODAY in NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES!
SUGAR follows the story of Miguel "Sugar" Santos, a Dominican pitcher from San Pedro de Marcoris, struggling to make it to the big leagues and pull himself and his family out of poverty. Playing professionally at a baseball academy in the Dominican Republic, Miguel finally gets his break at age 19 when he advances to the Unites States' minor league system; but when his play on the mound falters, he begins to question the single-mindedness of his life's ambition.
Written and Directed by: Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden
Starring: Algenis Perez Soto, Jaime Tirelli, Alina Vargas, Rayniel Rufino...
I urge you to check out this film not only because we need to support Latino films, but because I know YOU WILL LOVE IT. It's just an honest, touching look at the journey these young, talented kids travel in pursuit of their dream to play ball and save their families. Plus, it's baseball season and unless you want to sit in the rain tonight, this is your best alternative! ;)

Win Some, Lose Some
Okay, I'll admit - this week (thus far) has not been the most stellar of weeks in the history of the NYILFF. Without going into the boring details, let's just say this is a tough economy and even the best of us are feeling it. That said, every dawn brings a new day with fresh opportunities. Who knows what today will bring?
More importantly, we still have a ton going on and great films continue to pour in each and every day (thanks to all of you filmmakers who continue to support us!!). This is gonna be an awesome 10th anniversary event and we can't wait to share it with all of you.
In the meantime, back to hitting the phones...

Tweet, Tweet
Guess what?? You can now follow Calixto (IamCalixto) and me (LizGardner) on Twitter! Yep, we have joined the Twitter revolution.
We plan to tweet during the months leading up to the NY Int'l Latino Film Festival (July 28 - August 02), letting you guys know where we're going, what we're doing, who we're meeting and what inevitable craziness is ensuing...and, trust me, there is always craziness. Example: one afternoon during the 2008 NYILFF, I was in HBO's 15th floor bathroom getting my hair and makeup done, while writing a speech on my computer, which was balanced on the sink, and talking on both my cell phone and walkie. Loco, I know, but that's just how it is -- 24/7 madness for one straight week.
Also, of course, we'll let you know any fun, new updates about Cinedulce. Speaking of which...
