UNDER THE SAME MOON (LA MISMA LUNA) tells the parallel stories of nine-year-old Carlitos and his mother, Rosario. In the hopes of providing a better life for her son, Rosario works illegally in the U.S. while her mother cares for Carlitos back in Mexico. Unexpected circumstances drive both Rosario and Carlitos to embark on their own journeys in a desperate attempt to reunite. Along the way, mother and son face challenges and obstacles but never lose hope that they will one day be together again. Riggen's film is not only a heartwarming family story; she also offers subtle commentary on the much-debated issue of illegal immigration.

'A beautifully rendered, unforgettable story of the invincible bond between a mother and son.' 
-- Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com

'It's a movie guaranteed to leave you at the end with tears in your eyes and a big smile on your face.' 
-- Daniel M. Kimmel, Worcester Telegram & Gazette

'It's a warm drama that humanizes Americas current illegal immigration debate even as it sentimentally stacks the deck in favor of the undocumented.' 
-- Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel 



Smart People (14A) substance abuse, coarse language

GENRE(S): Comedy  |  Drama  |  Romance 
WRITTEN BY: Mark Poirier 
DIRECTED BY:  Noam Murro 
RUNNING TIME:  95 minutes, Color 
ORIGIN:  USA 

Synopsis: 
Dennis Quaid stars as a bitter, washed out widower in SMART PEOPLE, a film that tackles the lives of several seriously unhappy people in surprisingly funny and touching ways. 

'Good acting, nice smart script.'  -- Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

'The excellent script for Smart People is the work of Mark Jude Poirier, a fiction writer who has clearly spent enough time around English departments to have studied the tribal ways of the literary professoriate with ethnographic rigor.' 
-- A.O. Scott, New York Times
