A documentary about Luis Valdez, the amazing playwright and filmmaker, has a trailer out and a release date. It’s called American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez. We’re totally here for this!

This film won an award at Sundance. Nice! It’s going to be in theaters starting July 17th. First stop? New York City at Film Forum. Then, it’s heading to Los Angeles the next week.

We love stories that dive into creative minds. Valdez has done so much. He’s a legend in theater. We can’t wait to see the visual vibe of this documentary. It feels like it’s going to be rich and full of color, telling a powerful story.

Get ready to mark your calendars!
