>> I APOLOGIZE FOR SEIZING THIS
MOMENT, A FEW MONTHS AGO, HE
TOLD ME THE BACK STORY, IF NOT
FOR SOMETHING TRAGIC WITH YOUR
BROTHER, THIS MIGHT NOT HAVE
HAPPENED.
>> IT WAS AN UNFORTUNATE
SITUATION, A 12 YEAR JOURNEY, I
LOST A BROTHER TO GANG VIOLENCE
12 YEARS AGO, AND I STARTED
WRITING SOMEWHAT OF A BIT MORE
ABOUT IT, IT WAS THERAPEUTIC
FOR MYSELF, AS I CAME UP INTO
THE BUSINESS, EVENTUALLY
MEETING JOE, BECOMING ONE OF MY
BEST FRIENDS, I KEPT WORKING
AND WORKING OF THE SCRIPT, AND
ANOTHER TRAGEDY, I LOST A
DAUGHTER ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO,
GETTING EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT.
>> SORRY.
>> JOE BE MY BEST FRIEND, THE
SAME THING YOU DID WHEN YOU
WROTE THE ID ABOUT EL CHICANO,
MAYBE IT'S TIME NOW, AS CRAZY
AS IT SOUNDS, NOT ONLY DEDICATED
TO YOUR BROTHER BUT TO YOUR
DAUGHTER.
SO I HAD A FRIEND IN NEW YORK,
LIVED IN THE FINANCIAL
DISTRICT, ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT,
ONCE I TOOK CARE OF MY FAMILY,
I WENT OUT THERE FOR FOUR
WEEKS, I WROTE IN THE DARK, 185
PAGES OF THIS CRAZY MEMOIR, ALL
MY HEART AND SOUL INTO IT, JUST
WHAT JOE WANTED ME TO DO, I
CAME BACK TO LA, HE LOOKED AT
EVERYTHING, WE GOT TOGETHER, WE
GOT A PLACE IN PALM SPRINGS, WE
SPENT THE NEXT TWO WEEKS
CRYING, HUGGING IT OUT, TEQUILA
SHOTS, AND WE CAME UP WITH 125
PAGES, REPRESENT MY FAMILY,
EACH ONE OF THESE CHARACTERS
ARE SOMEBODY THAT I GREW UP
WITH, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND
THEN ALL OF THIS WAS HAPPENING,
WE FINALLY GOT THE MONEY AND
EVERYTHING TOGETHER, MY MOTHER
PASSED AWAY, AND MY MOTHER, IS
A CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE, IT'S
WEIRD HOW EVERYTHING KIND OF
HAPPENED.
>> WE STARTED SHOOTING ON HER
BIRTHDAY.
>> POETIC.>> IT IS CRAZY.
A BLESSING THAT IS GOING TO GET
DONE, WORKING AS A TELEVISION
DIRECTOR, AND I JUST KNEW,
EVERYTHING WAS FALLING IN
PLACE.
>> THERE ARE ANGELS AROUND THIS
MOVIE, MY WIFE SAYS.
WHICH I THINK IS SO TRUE.
>> YOU HAVE SOME PERSONAL
STORIES, RIGHT, ONE OF YOU HAD
