You won’t believe what we just heard! Or rather, who we just heard about. Arturo and Roy Ambriz, two incredible brothers, faced some tough words. People told them to just “quit their dreams.” Can you imagine?

But guess what? They didn’t listen. And now, their amazing stop motion film, “I Am Frankelda,” is coming to Netflix on June 12! This isn’t just any movie. It’s Mexico’s very first full-length stop motion feature. How cool is that?

We’re talking late 1800s Mexico. Think dark, mysterious vibes. The hand-crafted beauty of stop motion art gives it such a unique, almost gothic, aesthetic. It really pulls you into Francisca’s world. We just love that visual style. It feels alive, even with puppets!

The story itself sounds captivating. It’s about Francisca, a super talented writer who creates spooky tales and wild characters. Then her mom passes away. That’s a heavy start, right? We’re so ready to see how she handles it through her dark fantasy.

It reminds us that sticking to your passion really pays off. No matter what people say. Sometimes you just have to believe in your vision. Speaking of tough times and moving forward, it reminds us of how Hunar Hali recently got real about her split from Mayank Gandhi. It takes courage to share your story and keep going.

We’re always looking for new stories and unique talent, much like when Cedric the Entertainer signed that big deal! This film sounds like it’s going to be a masterpiece of imagination and perseverance. We can’t wait to see all the fantastical characters come to life, frame by frame.

Our Take

This is what BuzzMedia is all about. Celebrating art. Celebrating stories. The Ambriz brothers prove that passion wins. Always. Their dedication to stop motion, even when doubted, is truly inspiring. It’s a reminder to chase your dreams. Don’t let anyone tell you to stop. We’ll definitely be watching “I Am Frankelda” on June 12. You should too!
