Additional Information
The Nitty-Gritty
I also believe that with this film we'll be able to combine old and new and that result will be gold in the form of a story that needs to be told in order to help change some perceptions that are not always necessarily true. And for that to happen we need from all your help and your contributions to make this story come to life.
The RANESHA team sincerely thanks each and every one of you, from the bottom of our hearts Gracias, for all your contributions for all your support and for the opportunity to make history together.
My name is Arturo Rizo and as long as I remember I always enjoy creating stories, growing up I looked for a career that would bring me and my family financial stability because that's what I was taught and I tried many jobs where I couldn't shake off the unhappiness because deep down inside, I knew what I was meant to pursue, my passion, my reason for being which IS to tell stories through cinema. I just didn't believe in myself and neither did my family. This idea of making it into the movie business seem so unreal and far away for a Mexican boy with no connections or enough financial resources. But with lots and I mean lots of effort and faith I started to fight against those generational curses that only hold one back, I fought against my own mind to the point of destroying my old way of thinking to be reborn as brave and faithful Mexican man ready to bring all these stories to life. With all of my heart I present to you my first film: RANESHA
