very interesting film

I saw it a while back at a Latin Film Festival in NYC and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is the kind of film you hope gets made into a feature. The director and the actors could have gone for a more clear cut definition of the relationships, but they didn't. And the result, was a very nice journey in the gray area.

Great Expectations

I've heard many great things about this independent short film. I've heard it cuts a fine line between the real world and the entertainment industry in a beautifully done satire. I heard Jon Greenfield is a great young talent. I knew him in his college days and it was easily seen then that Greenfield was a talent waiting to erupt. I know that this movie will never get the honor it deserves, but I will wait for the day that I will get to see this gem of a movie on the independent movie channel. The film industry is afraid of a movie that can be slightly factual, and is afraid of the public seeing their true colors. Not that the industry isn't already wearing a clear suit. Movies like this are for the sharp and strong, not for the gullible and ignorant. I love movies that will take a leap without looking back to see who is watching.

Elisha Miranda, A Latina Director to Watch For

I saw Corporate Dawgz at the Los Angeles Short Film Festival-- and the crowd loved it. Elisha's directing of actors and her ability to make a VERY wordy script by the screenwriter into an amazing film was a stroke of directorial genuis. Also, she did it with such a limited budget. I would love to meet her and as another Latina director I will be checking for her at the movies. I wish more films like this were made with Latinas behind the camera. Does she have a feature in the future? Absolutely yes!
