"I went to the Netflix office, had on my suit and the receptionist said 'Good morning' and I just walked right past her like I was supposed to be there. And then I got to the elevator and I'm like 'I got this far. Now I gotta go talk to somebody.' So I asked some woman, 'Who do you talk to about getting a film distributed. I just made a movie.' She said, 'Okay, let me get back to you, sir.' And she goes in the elevator. I didn't know what floor to go to. Then security comes down and escorts me out of there...so driving back I felt good because at least I tried. I had confidence enough in myself to think if I could have got past that door, if somebody saw my movie, it would have been picked up.'

I enjoyed this interview and the movie, “M y Culture”. Please tell Mr. Bobino that he should make a movie about himself and the young thirteen-year-old sureño youth that he mentored. It would be very inspirational. Thank you.
I appreciate the message and will pass that on to Mario. He’ll be on again sometime. That’s the plan.
