Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico — The premiere of the feature film “Entre Actores” will take place next Saturday, May 31st, at the Cineteca Carlos Monsiváis of the Tijuana Cultural Center (CECUT), which has had locations in Baja California and Mexico City, announced Javier Espinoza Medina, the state's Film Commissioner.

The screening will bring together the public, media, and members of the film community to celebrate a work that narrates, from an intimate and everyday perspective, the challenges of border youth facing their artistic dreams.

"Entre Actores" tells the story of Rodrigo and Diana, two best friends who share the dream of becoming actors. Diana decides to move to Mexico City to pursue new opportunities, while Rodrigo stays in Tijuana for personal reasons, hiding his true feelings for her. The film addresses themes such as artistic vocation, personal sacrifice, and long-distance love.

The film was shot over 16 days in iconic Baja California locations, including the Tijuana’s House of Culture, the Tijuana Cultural Center, El Lugar del Nopal, the Playas boardwalk, the Black Box, and other emblematic spaces that portray the region's urban and cultural identity.

The cast includes Cristobal Dearie, Ale Yañez, Lirio Karina, Andrea Moncayo, Miguel Rodríguez, Rod Zapién, Gisela Madrigal, and David Eduardo Flores. The production was led by José Paredes (CeroBudget), Mickey Brijandez (Brijandez Moving Pictures), VCB Films (Alfredo Viramontes, Jesús Díaz, Luis Orozco Bedolla, Abril Juárez), Quetzal Films (Irving López Báez, Iván Gómez), and Isaac Brown (Brown Casting), with sound by Fulvio Cortez and photography by Iván Gómez.

“This film tells two parallel stories. On one hand, the passion of two young people to excel in what they love; on the other, a love story that faces its greatest challenge in distance. Although efforts have been made to decentralize cultural opportunities in Mexico, there are still artists who must leave their homes to advance their careers. I was interested in exploring that pain, so clear and difficult to overcome.”

After a year and a half of post-production, "Entre Actores" began its run at festivals and will continue its journey through various specialized forums nationally and internationally.
