Saturday – 3:10PM
A soldier grappling with post-war normalcy makes a decision that devastates his family and fellow veterans as they must imagine the unimaginable, a life without him.
Director Statement:
If we are lucky, a project presents itself that will leave a major impact on us. “Losing Lalo”, a film on veteran suicide, is that film for me. As creatives, it is important that we make art that feels right for us from inception to reception. Everything else is a beautiful bonus. That is the lesson I learned from “Losing Lalo”.
Award-winning actor, Johnny Rey Diaz (“Primo”. “Grey’s Anatomy”), came on board to play Lalo. His embodiment of “Lalo” is heartbreaking and haunting. He leads a diverse cast that at any given moment can break your heart. It was an absolute honor to direct this talented cast.
Thank you so much for your consideration!
