This is from Indie Pix Films Blog:
Paola Mendoza’s film Entre Nos will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. Here’s her description of making the film, a love letter to her mother:
The last three years of my life have been focused on a film I co-directed, co-wrote and starred in called ENTRE NOS. Entre Nos is a very personal story that is inspired by my mother’s story when she first arrived to the United States. I grew up hearing about the trails and tribulations, the tears, the laughter, the joy and I was always fascinated by her story.
One morning I was listening to the radio and Tupac’s song Dear Mama came on, this has always been one of my favorite songs but that morning it clicked for me in a different way. I thought how beautiful it was that Tupac
was able to give his mother such a beautiful and timeless gift. And then the idea came to me, I was going to make a movie for my mother, that would be my gift to her.
I reached out to Gloria La Morte, my partner on this crazy adventure and we began to write the script. Once the script was done we approached Indiepix and we were blessed to have them come on board from the very beginning. Two years later I am extremely proud & honored to have to opportunity to invite the Indiepix community to our World Premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.
From the beginning ENTRE NOS has always been a family affair and now we invite you to come and celebrate an extraordinary woman and become part of our family.
