His previous film, "PELEA DE GALLOS", (The Cock Fight), a black comedy, premiered on Showtime in 2004, and won Best Short Film at both the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival and at the San Diego Latino International Film Festival 2004. A.P. Gonzalez, co-chair of the Latino committee of the DGA, praises, "Joel gives us something original that we hardly get to see. He will be one of the people who bridges our two cultures."

NALIPsters,
Jose Rivera has written a masterpiece with MASSACRE (SING TO YOUR CHILDREN). It is a shocking, powerful piece that is both moving and thought provoking.
Plays like MASSACRE are why I became an actor, and why we love the theatre. This play may also be a great film one day.
Mr. Rivera won an Oscar nomination for writing the adapted screenplay of THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES, and is an Obie winner.
Please let me know your thoughts after you have seen it.
Please note that this is a workshop production, designed to help the playwright develop his play before it becomes a full production.

Thanks,
Adrian Martinez

* "A surprisingly intense debut. Though convincingly set in the lower depths of Lima, the story embodies a universal truth about the experience of former soldiers in many times and places." - Deborah Young, Variety
* WINNER! - Miami International Film Festival
San Diego, CA. Media Arts Center San Diego's San Diego Latino Film Festival is proud to return to Hazard Center with Peru's acclaimed war veteran drama, DIAS DE SANTIAGO ( Peru, 83 min., 2004). DIAS DE SANTIAGO will be screened October 14 - 20, 2005 at the new UltraStar Mission Valley Cinemas at Hazard Center ( 7510 Hazard Center Dr., San Diego, CA, 92108).
Think TAXI DRIVER in Peru! Pietro Sibille gives a superbly raw performance as a young war veteran returning to normal society in this edgy debut from the cinematic wilderness of Peru. Having spent several years in the jungle fighting terrorists, 23-year-old Santiago is ill-equipped to deal with everyday life, despite his best intentions. Seeking direction with a computer training course, he meets several young students, but his paranoid obsession with one of the girls soon spirals his life out of control. The spectre of Taxi Driver's Travis Bickle looms large: Santiago even takes to driving his dead comrade's car as a taxi to earn money. Considerably more than Scorsese transplanted into an exotic locale, this is a film of impressive psychological complexity. A gritty mixture of film stocks, fluctuating colour and B&W photography, and rapid-fire cutting draws us into Santiago's fractured world.
DIAS DE SANTIAGO will be screened for ONE WEEK ONLY exclusively at the new UltraStar Mission Valley Cinemas at Hazard Center (7510 Hazard Center Dr., San Diego, CA, 92108) from October 14th (Fri) through October 20th (Thur). Screening times: 10:00 am, 12:00, 2:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00, & 10:00 pm
DIAS DE SANTIAGO will screen five times daily from October 14-20. Tickets are $8.50 general admission and $6.50 students/seniors & 'Aficionados del Cine Latino' members. DIAS DE SANTIAGO is not rated, but is recommended for mature audiences. In Spanish with English subtitles.

Dennis Leoni created, executive produced, wrote and directed the critically acclaimed Showtime series " Resurrection Blvd." - the first drama series in the history of American television to be written, produced, directed and starring Latinos. It featured Elizabeth Pena ("Lone Star") Tony Plana (" Salvador") Lou Gossett, Jr. ("An Officer and A Gentleman") and Michael Delorenzo ("New York Undercover").
Dennis has written, produced and directed film, TV movies and series for most of the major networks and studios, including HBO, Paramount, Disney and Columbia. His most recent work includes the Showtime series pilot "Black & White" about an interracial romantic relationship between police officers, "The Guard" a movie about the National Guard in the wake of September 11; and "Almost A Woman" a PBS Masterpiece Theatre and Peabody Award winner. His production company, Patagonia House, is now developing a drama series for Touchstone Television and the feature "Pistolero."

LOS ANGELES, CA., September 28, 2005 - mun2 ('MOON-DOS'), the bilingual network that celebrates the lifestyle of Latino young adults, announced today that it will kick off the month of October by delivering a programming grid featuring all-new properties backed by a revamped look and feel.
The new line-up is a tangible demonstration of mun2's commitment to providing uniquely relevant programming with proven genres endorsed by bilingual young Latinos. The new programming grid, effective October 5, features originally-produced, innovative and quality-driven shows that reflect the true voice of its audience. The breadth of the programming will have an inclusive bi-coastal appeal ranging from bi-cultural music genre shows covering all relevant Latino youth music - from Regional Mexican to East-Coast reggaeton to Latin rock - to popular animation properties and video gaming challenges.
"mun2 has come a long way. Telemundo's strategy to serve all Hispanics in the US and provide them with high quality, original content is ever-present in the new mun2 grid," said Don Browne, President, Telemundo. "Antoinette Zel and her team have done an inspired job in taking mun2 to the next level and developing a youth network that we are proud of and that truly reflects young Latinos."
"We're proud to say that after promising our commercial partners a radically different mun2, our transformation is now well underway," said Antoinette Zel, Senior Executive Vice President Network Strategy at Telemundo. "We purposefully chose October, Hispanic Heritage Month, to introduce the new mun2 to our viewers, since the network's mission is to celebrate bilingual young Latinos in this country. mun2's programming philosophy has been completely turned on its head - with a 100% new grid, new faces and a new brand that we believe stands alone in its commitment to authenticity, quality and originality."
As part of its effort to extend its unique connection to Latino young adults, mun2 has acquired the rights to air the highly-rated WWE RAW franchise which will debut on the network, in English, on Wednesday, October 5, and in Spanish on the weekend. The show will air twice weekly, as encore performances to mun2' sister network, USA. Expected to be a signature show for the network, WWE RAW is the highest rated cable television show for Hispanics, 12-34, and whose content straddles English-language and Spanish-language audience themes. Hispanic viewers make up approximately 18 percent of the viewership for WWE television properties.
Over the past several months, mun2 has been developing a new visual approach to Latino entertainment, inspired by an irreverent, progressive attitude that is evident through its on-air look and packaging. Spearheaded by creative leaders in the industry, mun2's new look features high quality on-air graphics, fresh show packaging, irreverent interstitials, promos and network ID's that are animated, bright and alternative.
Debuting in early November is an originally-created animated interstitial campaign based on the underground Mexican phenomenon, Huevo Cartoon, an animated series featuring over 200 quirky character eggs with attitude who tell it like it is. Making its first appearance on television in the U.S., the hugely-popular characters in Mexico will be adapted for U.S. Hispanic viewers via a new co-production arrangement between mun2 and the creators of Huevo Cartoon.
Furthermore, in a continued commitment to animation with Latino sensibility, mun2 announces a second co-production arrangement with Los Angeles-based artist and satirist Lalo Alcaraz. Alcaraz is the creator of the well-known La Cucaracha comic strip which is the only Latino political cartoon in the nation and is featured the Los Angeles Times. Alcaraz has attracted recognition as an important voice in the Latino world with numerous honors, awards and media coverage for his powerful, often controversial political cartoons on the Mexican immigrant experience. mun2 will air, for the first time on television, an animation campaign, originally produced for mun2, featuring new characters and new storylines by Alcaraz. The campaign is set to launch on October 3.
In expanding its music and program offerings to be inclusive of all Hispanics ages 12-34, mun2 is establishing itself as the music leader in the Latino youth space, by filling a void that is currently overlooked by other youth outlets. While music is central and essential to all youth, mun2 has marked a particular untapped territory by programming to the duality of the general market and Latino music space. In addition, its choice to air content both in English and Spanish reinforces the network's mission of echoing the true voice of the young Latino.

The Daily Shift - 1 Hour
mun2 Specials - Varied
"2RSLVJ" ("Tu Eres El VJ/You Are The VJ") - 1 Hour

To most guys, Jessica Alba is synonymous with the battle cry, ‘Gentlemen, start your search engines.’ But it’s not at all the way this Pomona, CA native sees herself. (www.filmstew.com)
It happened again the other day, as it has many times before this year in connection with the films Sin City, The Fantastic Four and now, Into the Blue. During an interview on AMC’s Sunday Morning Shootout, actress Jessica Alba – looking resplendent as always in pearls and semi-formal attire - told co-hosts Peter Guber and Peter Bart that she does not consider herself a ‘sexual being.’ Yes, she admitted, that’s the way the Hollywood studios market her, but it is not – repeat, not – indicative of how this 24-year-old lives her life or, for that matter, views herself in the mirror each morning.
