» “Entre Nos” Co-directors Paola Mendoza & Gloria La Morte Interviewed in The Bergen Record
Paola Mendoza & Gloria La Morte, the co-directors of ENTRE NOS, were interviewed by The Bergen Record before the World Premiere of their film at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival:
For two years, the women worked on the script of ENTRE NOS, which begins when Mariana (played by Mendoza and based on her mother) is abandoned by her husband in Queens with two young children and $50 to her name. Unable to speak English, Mariana struggles to find work to keep her family together.
For La Morte, the film is about how a family survives by banding together. “When Mariana is at her lowest, she sees a light at the end of the tunnel because of her children,” says La Morte. “When they all work together, the family is strong. No matter what’s put in front of them, they triumph.
“I hope that families facing these kinds of [economic] difficulties … can find hope and inspiration from the story.”
Mendoza, who was last seen in SANGRE DE MI SANGRE, winner of the best film award at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, credits La Morte with giving the film a spine of realism.
“Neither one of us could have directed this movie alone,” says Mendoza. “It’s a personal story for me, and Gloria kept the movie from becoming just a gushing tribute [to my mother]. Gloria made sure the story became universal.”
The Apple Store, SoHo is teaming up with the Tribeca Film Festival again to celebrate the spirit of independent film, by hosting free filmmaking events from April 22 to May 3. On Saturday, April 25th, the store will host filmmaking duo So Yong Kim and Bradley Rust Gray to discuss their work. Kim will talk about her film TREELESS MOUNTAIN, which will be at Film Forum, and Gray will discuss his film THE EXPLODING GIRL which will make its North American premiere at Tribeca.
