You're paying the crew what they demanded through a vote- better pay and benefits and you got to make your movie.
You're on Twitter complaining about your fucking crew. Get a grip.
The artist behind this painting, Criselda Vasquez, painted this portrait of her parents in 2017. The man in this painting, her father, was recently taken by ICE. He has lived in the United States for forty years. This loss has made it hard for the family to support themselves. If you want to support them, you can go to their GoFundMe here:

Alfonso Cuarón on the influence of the great Mexican film "Canoa: A Shameful Memory' (1976) on his works:
"Interviewer: At “LatinBeat,” you’ll be introducing Felipe Cazals’s rarely seen 'Canoa' (1976). Why?
Cuarón: As a teenager, I saw this film when the echoes of the ’68 massacre of students in Mexico City were still bouncing around. There was censorship of those events, so Cazals focused on a different event that same year [the lynching of several suspected activists]. Cazals has the drive of an action-film director, but his concerns are social.
Interviewer: You seem to relish that kind of combination.
Cuarón: That generation of Mexican filmmakers was concerned about social issues, mostly at the expense of cinematic issues. I was not aware of how much I loved Canoa until I saw it after doing 'Y Tu Mamá También' (2001) and realized that my voice-over about the story’s historical context—that narrator—came from 'Canoa'."

Benicio del Toro says “I don't think we're there yet” when it comes to the representation of Latino stories:
"I haven’t seen a Latino movement like we saw with African American filmmakers or Italian American stories. We need more stories about the many Latino communities across the U.S. I hope that comes."

In Prisoners (2013), this is director’s favorite scene.
He said: “It’s not meant to be understood, but felt. Like a dread, an omen.”
On set he was criticized: “Denis, you’ve been shooting a tree for 30 minutes while 5 Hollywood stars wait.”
