Great film!!

As a fellow cast/crew member, I couldn't be more proud to be a part of a film that shows such talent on the part of the cast and crew members involved. For a first time narrative film, this film reads more like a critically acclaimed film. Luis' work on this as an actor and as a writer/director was captivating. I wasn't sure what to expect from his first time filling all those roles and I was truly surprised and amazed by the amount of talent and professionalism he exhibited while on set and in the finished product. This was one of the best set environments I've been in and one of the best experiences I've had as an actor. I look forward to continued success for all involved.

Trivia
El Taxista was inspired by the popular Spanish song by Ricardo Arjona, "Historia de Taxi."

Quotes
Ricardo Villamontes: I bet you you really let him have it.
Norma: No, I didn't let him have it. I skulked away like a little girl... sometimes I completely disappoint myself.
Ricardo Villamontes: Hey. don't beat yourself up. Most of us never live up to our own legend.
