LOS FRIKIS is the new film from co-directors Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz, creators of the 2019 sleeper hit, THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON.
LOS FRIKIS is a powerful coming of age story inspired by the true event of a group of punk rock iconoclasts defying the oppression of Castro’s rule in 1990’s Cuba.
Led by budding international star, Adria Arjona, the film is a kind of update on DOCTOR ZHIVAGO, weaving a tale where passion, love and art stand in defiance of politics.
Join us as we talk with Tyler and Michael about their two films, the pleasures and perils of self distribution, and the importance of believing in your work even – and especially – when the industry is telling you to move on.
We start with a clip from THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON, a film which has a connection to the history of Laemmle Theaters.
Join hosts Greg Laemmle and Raphael for this fascinating conversation on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE!
