I grew up in Brooklyn, but being a dancer, I would wander the streets of Spanish Harlem. I was there when they had the salsa museum. I would go to the record store, La Casa Latina. I’ve known a lot of the artists there for the last 12 years. I have an affinity for [Spanish Harlem]. It’s a long ride [from Brooklyn], but I love the neighborhood. It h...
I love what it stands for. It’s iconic. Every block is crystalized in time. It’s like you’re going back to a time where the sounds, the people, the energy, the smells, appear to be what they were in the 60s and 70s. When I was location scouting and researching and interviewing, I would wander every block. There is something nostalgic about it. Peop...
The house that I grew up in is one of the only houses that is still there. They’ve put in McMansions. Where I grew up, there were a lot of mobsters. You’d have all the guidos on the block and all the cafés and bakeries, but now all that stuff is gone. I mean, you go to Williamsburg and it’s trendy and hipster and I like it. There is a fresh look to...
We can articulate that there can be a happy medium, but having it actually exercised is not happening. The whole genesis of gentrification is development, but economic development is bringing in jobs and improving facilities and better utility services. You come under the umbrella of economic development and what is happening is that they are takin...
I’ve been humbled in the moviemaking process. I’ve learned how incredibly difficult, arduous and challenging it is to complete a film. It’s a marathon. I’ve learned to be patient. If you allow yourself the time, the day will come. The key to success in a film is preparation and doing your research. I will take that lesson to my next film.
I’m not frustrated, but it’s so hard to get a movie made and on top of that the resources are not at our fingertips. What I’ve talked about with other Latino filmmakers and my colleagues is that we need to stick together. With [Shine], there were Latinos in front and behind the camera. If you stay together, you can really move. I think that’s what ...
It was validation of my career. He pulled me aside and told me [Shine] was the most enjoyable set he had ever been on and that I was doing what God intended me to do. It was such a special moment for me. David brought the film to the next level with his creative integrity. He is very talented. He’s from the neighborhood, so he brought a special glo...
I definitely can bust some moves. I had originally written [Shine] to star in it. I was a dancer before, so I’m from that world. But I’ve matured over the years and realized as a first-time director, there was no way that I could give it the love I needed to give it in front and behind the camera. And honestly, I’m happy where I am behind the camer...
