Filmmaker Statement

Little Lucha & The Big Deal is a story about following your dreams - getting beat up and getting back in the ring again. It's about believing in your vision and refusing to submit to the outside forces around you. As artists and filmmakers, we understand and feel deeply the joy and pain of following this dream. A story of two underdogs that mirrors the mighty force of the small crew behind it, this short film amplifies the voice of creatives that know all too well what it is to sit in a diner and dream of becoming “the big deal”.
