We will be updating the La Americana site with a a press section soon, which will include some great reviews from the Sun Sentinel, Austin Chronicle, Baltimore City Paper, and more. In the meantime, here’s a review we liked from the Village Voice-owned New Times of Palm Beach:

Catch preview screenings of La Americana at the Staten Island Film Festival on June 6th and 7th, at The Tank on June 25th, followed by the official NYC premiere at the HBO New York International Latino Film Festival in July. Visit www.la-americana.com and click “screenings” for showtimes and locations as they become available.

I was interviewed about La Americana during the Maryland Film Festival on the local Fox station. We went on to have two packed screenings and a great review in the Baltimore City Paper which we will post soon. We have also added comments to this site so you can click below to post your thoughts.

After a packed premiere at the Palm Beach International Film Festival (where we received some great reviews, will post soon), John and I went on to the Cine Las Americas Film Festival in Austin, TX, where La Americana won both the Best Documentary Jury Prize and the Best Documentary Audience Award! See www.cinelasamericas.org for the press release.
Now we are off to the Maryland Film Festival where La Americana will be screening twice in Baltimore, details at www.la-americana.com
