Michaela hates helping her mom sell tacos out of their van every morning before school. The film is about two generations, with two different dreams, and the point where they must intersect.
Texas Premiere
When Sharon Arteaga turned fifteen, she convinced her parents that a video camera was a better investment than the Quinceañera they wanted her to have. She wrote and directed two short films using her church youth group as cast, crew, producers, and distributors. She transferred to the University of Texas in 2006 and received her BS in Film in May 2009. While enrolled at UT, she worked on several films as co-director, co-editor, director of photography, and whatever job would help tell a story. She loves God. A lot.
