LOVED editing this interview with the cast of new movie Los Frikis — which tells the true story of punks who injected themselves with HIV amid an economic crisis in Cuba.

“Los Frikis” tells a fascinating and heartbreaking story. It’s moving, authentic, and compelling while transporting the audience to a life unimagined for many. Props to Cuban actors, Eros De La Puente and Héctor Medina

This kind of gritty storytelling is Art with Heart. Based on unreal events in Cuba. It will break your heart in so many ways. Please see it if you can. Same team as Peanut Butter Falcon. Los Frikis movie 🍿

LOS FRIKIS is a beautiful, dreamily shot rock n roll coming-of-age film set against grim backdrop - AIDS sanatorium during Cuba’s “special period” - not politically didactic so skip if you need that but a dreammmmmm. Definitely see if playing near you to support indie/LatAm film!
I viewed it in Boston this afternoon. I really loved it. It's beautifully filmed, the story is illuminating and I found the characters compelling. So glad I learned about this period in Cuba. Definitely worth seeing. 🥲
Had such a good time moderating for #LosFrikis with Co-Director/Writer Michael Schwartz & Star Héctor Medina this weekend. It’s a very small film only playing in 2 theaters this week. It needs all the support it can get so if you’re able to go in NY or LA, I highly recommend it.
Just finished moderating a Q&A for LOS FRIKIS with Co-Director/Co-Writer Michael Schwartz & star Héctor Medina. A very moving indie film with a passionate commitment to authenticity that radiates off the screen. Now playing in NY & LA.

LOS FRIKIS!(In my Top Five films of 2024,) is a drama based on true events, set in Cuba in the 1990s. It stars Eros de la Puente(Who is in this video) and Adria Arjona(Star Wars Andor.) https://t.co/oLKBrcjuWQ via @YouTube@RMBee@philiplord
Not only did they make Peanut Butter Falcon but then (filmmakers Tyler and Michael) made LOS FRIKIS and I was blown away. I haven’t seen a movie like this in five years. You’re a fly on the wall in a moment in time.
