00:00For me, I would say the biggest thing within this this project was that it was three powerful Latinas
00:09within the world of love and
00:13Work and and doing things that you don't see us represented as on
00:19On the big screen or just in general on the platform and in entertainment
00:25my character Christina
00:28I'm very very excited and grateful to have played her because she is a mother
00:34working-class woman and just very
00:38Involved and and the glue of her friends. So it definitely gave me a
00:45Perspective into that and playing such a multifaceted role
00:50Yeah
00:52Just really wonderful, I think that she's always just the encourager of
00:57the entire group and
01:00I
01:01Think having having two people that you can really count on. I'm sure she has more friends, but these two
01:08two women
01:10are really just confident and knowing that Christina kind of like I said is the glue of the group and and
01:19Christina she loves cheering on her friends such as avela within her business and
01:25You know on this journey of life the roller coaster of juggling it all so we're very close
01:31We've known each other for a long time and same with Vanessa and I we've known each other for over a decade
01:38So that friendship grows and blossoms
01:41Is such a safe place in a safe space to work with he has so much creativity that he allows
01:48specifically us to kind of branch out and
01:52and
01:53You know
01:55Explore that to be honest. I I feel like we have a lot of freedom on set and it was my first time working with him
02:02he allowed me to sit and kind of shadow as well because
02:06Directing is definitely something that's in my wheelhouse and coming up next directing producing. So I was able to
02:13just kind of like
02:15Delve into all facets of the film film process, but he's so passionate and
02:20Will come right, you know to us in our
02:23Makeup and hair trailers or you know right afterward of him to see if we're comfortable if everything feels good
02:28And he's very much. So an actor's director
02:32So many things I mean
02:34One of the major highlights is about love and knowing that you can still
02:39Dream and you can still hope for something no matter where you are in life
02:44And also that you can achieve it
02:46I think the main goal of this film was to really showcase our friendship and
02:52Show how we can be so supportive of each other in anything that we do
02:57Yeah, so I said it was set with the backdrop of San Antonio, which is for lovers
03:03San Antonio is on board. That's what they that's what they're saying is it just really drew upon
03:08things that we could
03:10Relate to within that within that subject matter of love and friendship
