NOW IN DEVELOPMENT
As a short, "LUCHA and the EKEKO" has performed well beyond our expectations — enjoying a successful festival run. We’ve been humbled and delighted by the awards, favorable reviews, and the warm, engaging responses our film has received.
So we're excited to announce that "LUCHA and the EKEKO" is now being developed into a live-action feature so that it might reach a wider audience worldwide.
