FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SONG-INSPIRED SHORT FILM, EL TAXISTA, PICKS UP FARE FOR THE NEW YEAR
EL TAXISTA closes 2008 with 10 festival selections and keeps on riding.
Los Angeles, CA - January 3, 2009--A year ago, actor-turned-writer/director, Luis Robledo was just a man with a dream and a script in hand. The 15-year veteran actor, whose credits include The Shield, Havoc, American Family and most recently, the Heiniken Red Star Award winner for Best Feature at this year's Santa Fe Film Festival, A Lonely Place For Dying, would finally take a shot at writing and directing. Little did Luis and his production team know that before the close of 2008, El Taxista, whose festival run began in August, would have amassed 10 festival selections world-wide, including 3 awards and 4 nominations. 2009 is proving to be no different. Less than a week in, El Taxista has been named Official Selection at this year's Honolulu International Film Festival, taking place in March. It is one of only 35 films selected from over 30 countries and will be competing in the Best Short Film category. The festival will take place in Honolulu from March 6th through the 8th.
