"BORICUA" (adj, noun) Synonymous = PUERTO RICAN

BORICUA -
A
latino fairy tale… BORICUA is a romantic comedy that celebrates the unique Puerto Rican way of life. Filmed on location in the magnificent natural beauty of Puerto Rico, BORICUA highlights places such as El Faro de Cabo Rojo, La Playuela, La Bahía de Boquerón y sus Manglares and the fishing village of Puerto Real. Some scenes are filmed also in the capital city of San Juan. Many people see Puerto
Ricans in a negative light because of images from TV and movies that
depict
them as villains, drug
traffickers or gang members. We want to help change that as we take
them on a cinematic journey showing the happy Boricua outlook on life,
friendship, family,
food, fun and community. Many movies filmed in Puerto Rico mislead the audience into believing that the natural wonders depicted are in a different country such as Mexico, Brazil etc. BORICUA makes it clear that everything takes place right here in Puerto Rico. There
are many Caribbean
island tourist destinations. And all basically offer the same
attractions and amenities. Documentaries showing Puerto Rico’s beaches,
mountains, and wildlife
have no doubt helped stimulate tourism. BORICUA is based on true stories of the time spent by the Britton Family in the western region of Puerto Rico. The film targets North American and European audiences in particular and Latinos in general. Proceeds will go to charity work in Puerto Rico. BORICUA will appeal to a very wide audience and its script can be easily adapted to align with the Puerto Rican Tourism Company’s promotional needs and goals. By showing the contrast
between the
so-called
modern world we are living in and the warmth of the Puerto Rican
people, along with their simple yet unique and often funny ways of
doing things, we
believe we can increase people's interest in visiting the
tropical
paradise island home of the BORICUAS! (Screenplay and synopsis available upon request.) ********************* WHAT PUERTO RICANS ARE SAYING…After reading the script. Alodia “It's amazing that you have been able to capture the Puerto Rican soul so well, when you've only been here a short time. It reminded me of Puerto Rico in my childhood. I was so happy to realize that there are still places and people like that today.” Gretchen R. “I am on page 83, I can see the places, the smells, the taste of food, the faces of people, its like it woke up my five senses with your descriptions: love it!” Bessie I. “I picked it up and couldn't put it down until I finished it. I really liked it that he got the girl in the end.” Lizbet F. “My favorite scene was the joke of the sardines. I really laughed. I could imagine the stench of fish all over her. Also at the beginning, when she steps in the dog's 'poop' and lost her shoe. That was funny.” Lily “I finished reading the story, I love good and happy endings. It is an awesome movie and the message is great.” “Scene 133 GIVES ME GOOSE BUMPS! Aaaaahh! Beautiful! You know one message that the movie is indirectly sending is that we need to connect to nature in order to have a full connection with God. After all, nature is his Creation, his ideal home for humans, his Work of Art.” “WOW I am excited! This script made me feel different emotions, as if I am inside the story... I laughed, I was worried, I hated Alex, and I loved Juan and the new Susan. This movie is so about real life and I like it that there are some funny scenes.” “Los felicito y les deseo muchisimo exito en el logro de su pelicula y presentando al mundo lo hermoso de nuestra isla y de nuestra gente buena.” |
