Narcocorrido has won a Student Academy Award!

Got word yesterday that my film Narcocorrido has been selected by the Academy membership as one of the winning films in the 39th Annual Student Academy Awards narrative category. Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards will be announced June 9th at the Awards Ceremony held at the AMPAS' Samuel Goldwyn Theater.

L. Onye Anyanwu, Benjamin Kitchens, Callie Andreadis, and Jarod Shannon of Team Win as well as the amazing and beautiful cast members Nicki Micheaux, Raúl Castillo, Michael Finn, and Emilio Rivera are the exquisite champions of my heart! Love you guys! And thank you to friends and family, the rest of the cast and crew, and all the wonderful people who supported and donated to the film to make it all possible!

Excited that this story has been given this opportunity to reach and enlighten a wider audience!
