Rom-Com Novela Love and Laughter for Valentine’s Day

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, get ready to fall in love with Say A Little Prayer, the new rom-com premiering on February 14 on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. Vannessa Vasquez (Divorce Bait, East Los High) who stars along with Vivian Lamolli (Pink Ladies) and Jackie Cruz, known for her role in Orange is the New Black, are ready to find love!

After reciting an ancient prayer the three “amigas” embark on a sacred mission to find their true love. What comes next is the story of Say a Little Prayer, which resonated among audiences when it had its theatrical release in November.  Audiences gave the film a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (a site where audiences can cast their vote for their favorite film). Say a Little Prayer truly resonated with audiences making  it a “must see” movie on Valentine’s Day and beyond!

“It’s about finding true love, but it’s also about friendship,” says writer Nancy De Los Santos, “I wanted to write about my girlfriends and how deep friendships between women can empower us all.” De Los Santos, a Chicago native, who fell in love with San Antonio, Texas after working as a producer on the film Selena, tells us how it was her grandmother who inspired the film.  “My grandmother gave me a prayer to St. Anthony, who’s the saint in charge of finding a lost item. She told me my husband was ‘lost’ because I was 30 years old and still unmarried.”  Adding “the city of San Antonio is named after this saint, and is a perfect setting for a romantic movie.”

Early on, during a location scout for the film in Texas, lead producer Cristina Nava, felt the city could provide the best “practical locations” for filming—real places that add to the beauty of the story with its landscapes. “We didn’t need to build any sets,” Nava said. “We simply pointed our cameras at incredible locations including the River Walk, San Fernando Cathedral, art galleries, and even a golf course.” 

Director Patrick Perez Vidauri remarked on the significance of the film, “It was important for all of us to bring this inclusive, Tejano-flavored story to life. I’m proud to help shine a light on Latino culture in our country and enrich our cinematic tapestry.”

Comedia Romántica, Amor y Risas para el Día de San Valentín

Justo a tiempo para el Día de San Valentín, prepárate para enamorarte de Say A Little Prayer, la nueva comedia romántica que se estrena el 14 de febrero en Amazon Prime y Apple TV. Vannessa Vasquez (Divorce Bait, East Los High), quien protagoniza junto a Vivian Lamolli (Pink Ladies) y Jackie Cruz, conocida por su papel en Orange is the New Black, están listas para encontrar el amor.

Después de recitar una oración antigua, las tres “amigas” se embarcan en una misión sagrada para encontrar su verdadero amor. Lo que sigue es la historia de Say A Little Prayer, que resonó entre el público cuando se estrenó en cines en noviembre. La película obtuvo una calificación del 99% en Rotten Tomatoes (un sitio donde los espectadores pueden votar por su película favorita). Say A Little Prayer realmente tocó al público, convirtiéndola en una película “imperdible” para el Día de San Valentín y más allá.

“Se trata de encontrar el verdadero amor, pero también de la amistad”, dice la guionista Nancy De Los Santos. “Quería escribir sobre mis amigas y cómo las profundas amistades entre mujeres pueden empoderarnos a todas.” De Los Santos, originaria de Chicago, quien se enamoró de San Antonio, Texas, después de trabajar como productora en la película Selena, nos cuenta que fue su abuela quien inspiró la película. “Mi abuela me dio una oración a San Antonio, quien es el santo encargado de encontrar objetos perdidos. Me dijo que mi esposo estaba ‘perdido’ porque tenía 30 años y aún no me había casado.” Agrega: “La ciudad de San Antonio lleva el nombre de este santo, y es el escenario perfecto para una película romántica.”

Al principio, durante una búsqueda de locaciones para la película en Texas, la productora principal Cristina Nava sintió que la ciudad podría ofrecer las mejores “locaciones prácticas” para filmar, lugares reales que sumaran a la belleza de la historia con sus paisajes. “No necesitamos construir sets”, dijo Nava. “Simplemente apuntamos nuestras cámaras a locaciones increíbles, como el River Walk, la Catedral de San Fernando, galerías de arte e incluso un campo de golf.”

El director Patrick Perez Vidauri comentó sobre el significado de la película: “Para todos nosotros era importante traer a la vida esta historia inclusiva, con sabor Tejano. Estoy orgulloso de ayudar a resaltar la cultura latina en nuestro país y enriquecer nuestro tapiz cinematográfico.”
