As you all know, SDAFF is just around the corner and FilAmFest will be sponsoring one of this years films. We chose #bluebustamante, directed by Miko Livelo. Showing will take place Nov 12th at 5:45pm at UltraStar Mission Valley. BLUE BUSTAMANTE evokes the 1990s in all of its glory: hand-written letters, landlines, men and women cavorting in spandex. Writer-director Miko Livelo doesn’t hide the sentiment or the nostalgia factor. For him, the loving, emotional subject of men desperate for work is sullen but also hilarious for its implications for masculinity and its imagination of the reluctant superhero. But the true nostalgia comes in the story of the young son who sees in the blue ranger an international superstar and someone greater than the provincial world he knows. It’s a surprisingly tender and fantastic look at the gravitational pull of family even when its members are countries and costumes apart. –Erwin Mendoza (Credit: straight from sdaff website)
