Director Noel Quiñones |
Broadway star Bianca
Marroquin, Angela Kinsey (The Office), Pili Montilla (Te Para Tres), Juan
Agustin Marquez (Director), Michael Thornberry (Former Heavy weight boxing
champion, producer), Sandra Santiago (Sangre Negra) and international
heartthrob, Giovan Ramos were some of the stars who walked the red carpet in
support of Noel Quiñones' efforts for economic development through
education.
The film industry was
superbly represented by Gary French, head of production at ABC, Costume
designer Karyn Wagner, Composer Brahm Wenger, and Actors Studio's Mark
Kemble.
"We are honored to
have the opportunity to present our documentary to the Hollywood industry. Uno
a Uno is about economic development. Puerto Rico is losing 1 billion dollars a
year as a result of the school dropout epidemic. We hope school districts take
note. Involving the community guarantees that the impossible will be possible.
I salute community activist Nilda Prieto for her contributions in making a
better world said Quiñones while being interviewed on the red carpet.
The unforgettable night
kicked-off with a star-studded red carpet followed by the screening and a
Q&A session with Director Noel Quiñones.
Uno a Uno is in the run to
be included in the Academy Awards For Your Consideration documentary short
list.
