Felipe Martínez, born in Houston, TX, but raised in Laredo, TX and Monterrey, Mexico has finished filming his first feature film dedicated to his father, and to all immigrants in the United States. The film talks about family separation when parents are deported to Mexico. Felipe decided to write on this subject since it is something not seen much in the industry today, and if it is seen in the cinema it is not interpreted in the correct way. Felipe, a United States citizen with Mexican roots, decided to take action and show the world what it really is to live in the United State as a citizen and have undocumented parents.

An incomparable story about a U.S. Citizen of Mexican descent living in the United states with undocumented parents appraised by a U.S. Citizen of Mexican descent who was raised in bordertown. The presented film is a story unlike others. A story being told and acted by actual people who lived their lives in the United States and have gone through these types of circumstances when leaving their home country in search of a better future. A film that represents “Minority groups” the way they should be represented.

Still attending FIlm School, Felipe Martinez was tired of seeing his own people not being represented the way they should be on screen. He decided to take action and film his first feature film with only $1,500. “You have to do what you have to do. Sometimes you have to create your own industry, your own path, your own voice, your own stories, in order to represent your people and be acclaimed by others.” Felipe stated. He believes in the powerful tool of storytelling. He believes it has the power to change a life, create conscious, and the power to make people take action with all these problems going on in this world. He decided to represent his own people the way the should be represented on screen.
