March Madness! Forbidden Cuba wins GRAND JURY AWARD at Las Cruces Int'l Film Festival

We took Cuba to the white sands desert of Las Cruces, NM and connected with audiences thirsty for Cuban culture and a story of renewal. THANK YOU, Las Cruces Int'l Film Fest for recognizing our film & its mission.

VIVA Rafael Garcia, my friend from childhood - just years after fleeing the island, he & his family instilled in me a passion for Cuba and its future. He's not an actor (IBM exec), yet he stepped up to play a key role in FORBIDDEN CUBA's pivotal scene. The rave reviews for his work may get him an agent. Ralf joined me at the Las Cruces Int'l Film Fest for the Grand Jury Prize victory The man is a force and an inspiration.
