so tell me about this beautiful lady martha this beautiful lady marta when i created the character in my head she was a combination of the wonderful celia cruz which hello i think you see it who i had the privilege and honor of knowing personally and professionally we sang together on a few occasions and i just adored her and my mother the actual diva of my family who also looked like that on several occasions that she had the opportunity to don her cape and her diva hair um it was important for me that it be authentic that it'd be different from me and that it that she embodied the spirit of you know lost love and separation that the cuban people have experienced through decades uh love that was separated and never was to be again uh the beautiful music of lin-manuel miranda to really do it justice and and it was a joy when i read when he when lynn sent me the first demo i thought oh my gosh i i didn't know how i was going to be able to work it into my schedule and i thought i have to after i heard the song that he wrote it was just spectacular and then the script i read it and fell in love so uh i'm very happy that i got to be a part of this and hey they actually added more stuff after i did my original things they added more music and more lines and so they liked it yeah they like you i guess um this movie depicts in animation havana and miami to places you are very fond of so tell me do you feel like they did it justice do you think that people will get a sense of the flavor of these two cities i absolutely think they will get the flavor the first of all the animation is spectacular it's very romantic view of cuba even though it was you know very early revolution days or even maybe before because andres and martha were a duo young and were in love but never really he never told her he was about to tell her when she left for miami to look for opportunities and he decided to stay behind and martha never remarried and andres never did either so it's really a beautiful you know how they capture each of the cities miami exciting the everglades i thought it was really cool you know and and the character gabby the lead character is an amazing character she's not not your typical you know character in these animated films she looks like she still has some throwback from like flock of seagull days with her hair even though she's very young she goes to the beat of her own drum which i love absolutely love and is a strong female young character i love that as well for young women that watch this film and uh you know it's you see the depictions of the environment in everglades the python and the birds so it i think it it does embody you know a lot of the energy of each of the cities fantastic at being proud mom here we are here at the night owl drive-in which is hinted owned by your son so tell me a little what it means to be here premiering you know i'm very proud of my son he's always been a cinephile he studied at the la film school years ago and has had for 10 years his little night owl in different parts of the city in tiny rooms but his dream seven years ago he wanted to do this here uh on this lot that we've had for a long time and he you know when he came with me for the with the idea i go you know what that is a brilliant idea especially for these times and he did everything i mean now netflix has come in and gone to town preparing this for this incredible event but it was his idea to have the the car slots are socially distant so now that you're allowed to get out of your car you can you know put your seats outside and still be separated from everyone he was very careful to do everything by the you know legit by the rules he's made it a beautiful place and it's really unique that we're in this enclave of these buildings and it's got great breeze that comes right off of the water he's always been a forward thinker and i'm happy to see him have so much success with his night all driving right here behind the r center and you know i think it's only going to grow even more he's he's done over i think 250 films already here and he's got a great following so i'm hoping that netflix will let him play vivo here so people can see it on a big screen you know once it comes out and it's been out a couple weeks come on netflix yeah that's what some slack here and let them put it on the big screen for people in town that want to see it how it was intended and it's still great whatever screen you look at it well we are so excited for it and thank you so much for your time thank you and thank you everybody out there we hope you're all doing well and that you enjoy this amazing film i was so happy to be a part of it and from what i see it's gotten great response already i can't wait for you to check it out the music is incredible the whole thing i only do things that really either touch my heart or my intellect and that are worth putting out into the universe and when i got the opportunity to be on this i said absolutely i've got to do it [Music] you
