Starring Luna Lauren Velez, Jon Seda, Desiree Casado
he first film directed by an African American woman to be produced by a major Hollywood studio, Darnell Martin’s vibrant feature debut is a vivid, funny, and refreshingly authentic look at a woman’s search for self-realization as she does what it takes to keep her Nuyorican family together. When her well-meaning husband (Jon Seda) is arrested, young Bronx mother Lisette (Luna Lauren Vélez) finds herself unprepared to support her family. Facing turmoil at home, Lisette, with the support of her transgender sister (Jesse Borrego), fast-talks her way into a job with a record producer (Griffin Dunne) and quickly discovers her own hidden talents.
