The NY and LA Times On UNDER THE SAME MOON
The New York Times ran a piece on immigration and immigrants in film, titled "Stories In Motion" and highlighting Patricia Riggen's UNDER THE SAME MOON (LA MISMA LUNA). Below is an image from the article, which you can click on to read in its entirety on the NYT site.
A Los Angeles Times piece also ran this past weekend on MOON (an image from which can be seen below). While this particular article is only available in its print version, you CAN access another article the LA Times ran recently -- titled "Latino immigrants and their northern exposure" -- by clicking here.
Hello Mr. Barrow, First I want to congratulate and thank you for bringing forth a much anticipated movie, "We Miss Biggie!" The reason for me contacting you is because I have an Artist by the name of C.H.A.$.E. who is located in Philly,who was so inspired by the fact that you guys were doing a movie that he did a track with a Biggie sample called "Rhyme A Few Bars" we leaked it just to get a response a week ago and it's playing in 3 different clubs already, and has about 5000 plays already on myspace. We think it would be great for the soundtrack. Well here hopefully it inspires you like you did us.
Thank you for your time
