Patricia Riggen was born in Guadalajara, Mexico where she studied communication sciences. Her academic experience led her to an early career in journalism, working on several newspapers with national circulation. In 1996, Riggen began participating in professional workshops in script writing and dramatic writing. This experience led her to write a dozen documentary scripts for Mexican television as well as several feature screenplays. In tandem with her scriptwriting, she became the production vice chairman for shorts at the Mexican Film Institute in 1997 and 1998, a period during which she produced or co-produced over 15 short films.

She later moved to New York City, where she received her master’s degree in directing and screenwriting at Columbia University. While at Columbia, she wrote, produced and directed two medium length films, THE CORNFIELD and FAMILY PORTRAIT. THE CORNFIELD, a beautiful period film shot in Mexico, won an Ariel (the Mexican equivalent of an Academy Award®) for Best Short Film, the Student Academy Award Gold Medal, the Student "Emmy" for Best Narrative, and the DGA Best Latino Director Award as well as 15 other awards in different countries. It has screened internationally on television, including on HBO in the US. Family Portrait, a documentary about poverty in Harlem featuring Gordon Parks, won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, among other awards. It is being distributed in the UK through the Independent Film Association and in the US and Canada through Direct Cinema LTD. UNDER THE SAME MOON is Patricia's first feature film.

I am Rakesh Kumar Awasthi, I come from a small village of India
and love to watching movies. I am not big writer
or script-writer, but some flickered into my mind
and I thought that it could be made into a
good story if it lands in the hands of an eminent person like you. Could it be developed into a script with some improvement so i have made the story for making film.
if you got my massage plz give me some email address so I can submit the story.
I am waiting your response so you could take a look and encourage me.

With regards
You can contact at my email id: rakesh_awasthi2002@yahoo.com

Hi Patricia,
I watched your film "Under the Same Moon" and I loved it so much, I had to take my dad and my brother the very next day to go see it. It hit home for us because we're from Juarez, which is right on the border of El Paso, TX., but my brothers and I grew up in East L.A.

Do you really read these posts? Hopefully, you can answer a concern of mine. I'm a film studies student interested in learning from another Latina or Latino in the business. I have no prejudices against learning from others, it's about legacy, tradition, movement, understanding what it means to be a part of something bigger than myself. I can be reached at irosa@bw.edu. Thank you for your time and consideration to my request. Isrrael "Isy" Rosa, Peace

One such program Gary Winnick has helped to support by a grant from the Winnick Family Foundation is the Jewish Federation’s Holy Land Democracy Project. The goal of this educational initiative is to prepare Catholic teachers in the Los Angeles parochial high school system to teach a unit about modern Israel. The program is now in its fifth year, and by all standards, has been a phenomenal success for both communities. It has reached more than 7,000 Catholic students.
