I first saw Rufino play the lead role in a stage adaptation of Luis Rodriguez's "Always Running" at Casa 0101 and immediately knew I wanted to work with him. This is the first of many collaborations with such a talented actor!

The homie David is a fellow filmmaker from SELA who has supported me on many other projects and his positivity always shines through. To have another foo from SELA on set was an inspiration!
