Mosquita y Mari - A new voice in independent filmmaking

lowendtheory:

If you’ve listened to Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers, you’re certainly familiar with the sketch that opens track ten.  You know, the one where a radio static-filtered gentleman calls in to a radio station.  ”Yo, I never call to ask you to play something, right?,” he says.  

Like him, I try not to ask for much more than your attention, but I do want to make a request of you now, and by now, I mean now.  Like, the if-you-wait-an-hour-it-might-be-too-late kinda now. What I’m asking is that if you have ten dollars to spare and if you’re a regular reader of this blog, please go to the page for Mosquita Y Mari, a film that is the passion project of my brilliant friend, director Aurora Guererro, and become a supporter.  No matter what please do check out the trailer on the page linked above.  It is amazing.  

If there’s any possibility that the supporters of this blog can in any way contribute to making a reality of this dream, which is so close to having its goal met, I think what we can help to prove is that the striving is worth it.  We can also help to prove to ourselves and to others that we’re not willing to divorce our political aspiring from our deepest aesthetic sensibilities, and that is why projects like this are so important.

Thanks, and love.

I have roughly 8 dollars to my name right now, so unfortunately I won’t be donating, but this truly seems like such a wonderful story and project. I really hope that it gets fully backed. :)  Everyone on my dash… please take a look and donate if you can!  Yay young chicanas!!!
