The Emerald Cut (1999)
Great short film
The Emerald Cut. This cuban story focuses on a family's divisions in the early years of the revolution. The film is powerful. It's not sentimental or manipulative. This short film has connected me to those events more emotionally than I have ever been before. The short films is filled with the wonderful and vibrant photography of Mario Garcia. Ivonne Lopez Arenal performance as Martha is one the most finest performance ever captured. Her character is intense and authentic. She is a versatile actress. The other face of the film was the cuban actor Rene Lavan as Victor giving little away in this character. Gustavo Rex and Jonathan Nicols are class A acting. Arturo Barquet made a strong impression with this great short film and sure to become one of the great Hollywood's director in the near future.

Letters from the park. The Movie.
Juan and Maria two young people who are in love communicate through letters written by penman(Pedro). When the young man leaves town, to become a pilot, the girl discovers she is really in love with the one who wrote the letters. This is a wonderful movie, with three great actors. Victor Laplace, Miguel paneke and one of the most beautiful and talented cuban actress Ivonne Lopez Arenal. Unforgettable story, based on the book of Gabriel Garcia marques and screenplay by Eliseo Alberto. Letters from the park is a masterpiece directed by the legendary Tomas gutierres Alea and photographed for the amazing cinematographer Mario Garcia.
