Anchored by both a palpable sense of dread and a youthful spirit of hope, Los Frikis is the latest film from Tyler Nilson & Michael Schwartz, the filmmaking duo behind 2019’s breakout hit The Peanut Butter Falcon. Produced by Academy-Award winning producers, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Lego Movie), and starring Adria Arjona, Hector Medina and Eros de la Puente, Los Frikis is a brilliant recollection of “Special Period” Cuba.
Producer Rebecca Karch Tomlinson along with actor Eros de la Puente will be in attendance to participate in a post-screening Q&A. After party at Hey Love (920 SE Burnside St. Portland), located in the lobby of Jupiter NEXT Hotel. Music by local DJ Papi Fimbres.
