"Bahía de Cochinos, Nuestra Perspectiva" es una película
documental sobre la Bahía de Cochinos representada a través de los ojos de
exiliados cubanos que participaron en la invasión. Ahora, muchos años
después, contemplan los acontecimientos y comparten sus historias y
sentimientos individuales. Esa historia tiene un precio, un precio que les
preguntamos si estarían dispuestos a pagar de nuevo. Cuando todo está dicho y
hecho, ¿están estos últimos invasores resentidos? ¿Le echan la culpa a
alguien? ¿Quién perdió más en la invasión de Bahía de Cochinos, los exiliados,
los cubanos revolucionarios, o el pueblo de Cuba? Esta es una
nueva narración de esta historia, y se recuenta con profunda emoción.
La película cuenta con el testimonio de miembros de la Brigada
2506: Ángel Casabona, Isidoro López, Ricardo M. Montero, Raúl Puig, y Alvin
Ross; así como con Sergio Gatria, director del Cuban Information Center. Sus
historias son conmovedoras y arrojan luz sobre la invasión de Bahía de
Cochinos. La película posiblemente creará un diálogo serio sobre lo que
realmente sucedió detrás de los acontecimientos que condujeron a la invasión y
sus consecuencias posteriores.
La pelicula se ha presentado en varios distinguidos lugares,
incluyendo el Museo de Arte de Union City; Union City Performing Arts Center;
Miami Hispanic Cultural Arts Center; Centro Cultural de las Telecomunicaciones
in Santo Domingo, RD; Casa de Cultura de La Vega, RD; Casa de Cultura de

Ruben Rodriguez plans to scare you!!!
CLASSIC SCARES TO BE TURNED INTO MODERN
CINEMATIC HORROR BY HISPANIC FILMMAKER
FEBRUARY 16, 2017 – MOJOCREATIVE GROUP, LLC in association with CGO and GORE ENTERTAINMENT, LLC are producing their newest venture into horror with DEATH LIKE ME, a horror film based on Edgar Allan Poe’s classic short story “The Black Cat”. The film will be shooting in Union City, New Jersey for an early 2018 release.
DEATH LIKE ME is about an introverted home health aide, Genesis Narvaez, who is fighting a deep-seated need to kill and is seduced into giving in to her murderous desires. Much like Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Black Cat,” DEATH LIKE ME takes a look into the mind of madness and examines how a seemingly normal person can be transformed into a vicious killer.
“Our spin on Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Black Cat” also features a black cat, but our cat encourages our main character, Genesis, to go further down the rabbit hole of madness,” said Ruben Rodriguez the film’s director. “Our film is really a study of how desire and insanity can be one and the same. Our main character has a desire to do harm, but she fights the urge to give in to it. She just wants to be a normal girl. Unfortunately, she loses the fight when she encounters a stranger at a bar. Through that encounter, we get a very entertaining twist ending that will definitely delight and scare viewers.”
The three friends and former students of New Jersey City University media arts program — Ruben Rodriguez (director, producer), Cesar G. Orellana (producer) and Brit Barrison (producer) — are the team members behind the feature film Death of April and a series of horror shorts currently being distributed by Ruthless Studios: “Delete,” “Don’t Skimp on the Undead,” and “It Requires Sacrifice.” Joining the DEATH LIKE ME production team are Lucio Fernandez and Michelle Velez.
DEATH LIKE ME has an incredible creep factor and just turns up the tension throughout,” said Cesar G. Orellana, producer. “I have worked with Ruben on all of his films and they just keep getting creepier with each attempt. Being a Hispanic filmmaker in Hollywood has proven to be tough. There are only a few well-known Hispanic horror filmmakers in the industry: Guillermo Del Toro (Crimson Peak, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark) and Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead 2013, Don’t Breathe) to name a couple. We want to help add Ruben Rodriguez’s name to that list.”
With much emphasis lately on the lack of minorities in film, in directorial roles in particular, it’s important that people get behind a project like this, devised and driven by a new and ambitious Hispanic filmmaker. Mojocreative Group’s previous film, The Death of April, earned them a number of festival awards and a distribution deal with ITN Distribution. Ruben Rodriguez and his team are seeking a modest contribution to pay for the make-up and production supplies they need to create their gory effects. The team will be putting up the remainder of the film’s budget, so there is no excuse not to back this grisly little gem!
DEATH LIKE ME boasts an outstanding cast of performers (Shevaun Kastl, Mourning Hour, Conversations with Lucifer), Jenna Kildosher (Cabin of Errors, Never to Wake Again), Lucio Fernandez (Vampire in Union City, The Death of April, Sal) and Will Fonseca (Changing Diego, Rewind, El Bandido).
Those who wish to support this exciting creative venture can visit the DEATH LIKE ME Indiegogo site, at this link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/death-like-me-a-short-film-project-horror, or even just drop in on their Facebook page and give them a “like”: https://www.facebook.com/deathlikeme/
The film has a distribution deal and will be released on DVD and VOD in early 2018.
