I Am A Director

Running time: 84 mins

Authenticity is not his strong suit. In a mockumentary-style comedy in the vein of Christopher Guest's Best In Show, there is one goal: make the BEST HOLLYWOOD FILM EVER! Carlos is a Puerto Rican filmmaker - one of many - aiming to make a "Hollywood" film. It has to be extravagant, dramatic, and MUST be in English. Otherwise, he says it cannot be exported. Joa, his best friend and film's producer, tries to help him stay on track and achieve his goal. But even she did not expect him to become a puppy at one of their actresses' feet. Jealousy will both tear these friends apart and pull Carlos further from his dream of being a master at his art. The question for Carlos is how many bad judgment calls he has to make on and off set before he realizes what he really needs to pursue. - Jade Estrada Preceded by the short film: Peace; PTP film; 5min; Youths fight for peace in their homeland, empowered by one eleven-year old girl and one poem, hopeful for better tomorrows.
