Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lou Diamond Phillips took the role for scale specifically to support indie filmmaking about working-class Latinx stories.
The film deliberately avoids the 'magical realism' often expected of Latinx poverty narratives—this is pure social realism, no escapism allowed.
