“Los Frikis” was the winner of the Marimba Award at the 2024 Miami Film Festival and is directed by “The Peanut Butter Falcon” filmmakers Michael Schwartz & Tyler Nilson. The film is  inspired by true events and is a coming-of-age story set in early '90s Cuba where a group of punk rockers in search of freedom deliberately inject HIV to live at a government-run treatment home so they can create their own utopia. The film is produced by Miami native Phil Lord and is executive produced by Adria Arjona who also stars in the film.  “Los Frikis” will be presented in Spanish with English subtitles and is rated R.

 

The screening will be immediately followed by an intimate conversation in Spanish with lead actor Hector Medina, who plays Paco in the film. Medina has worked for years as a film and theater actor in Cuba before coming to Miami and can be seen next in the feature film “Killing Castro” due to be released next year.

“Los Frikis” fue ganadora del Premio Marimba en el Festival de Cine de Miami 2024 y está dirigida por el cineasta de “The Peanut Butter Falcon”s Michael Schwartz y Tyler Nilson.  La película está inspirada en hechos reales, es una historia basada en Cuba de principios de los 90, donde un grupo de punk rockers en busca de libertad se inyectan deliberadamente VIH para vivir en un centro de tratamiento administrado por el gobierno y poder crear su propia utopía.  La película está producida por Phil Lord, nativo de Miami, y cuenta con la producción ejecutiva de Adria Arjona, quien también protagoniza la película.  “Los Frikis” se presentará en español con subtítulos en inglés y tiene clasificación R.

 

La proyección será seguida inmediatamente por una conversación íntima en español con el actor principal Héctor Medina, quien interpreta a Paco en la película.  Medina ha trabajado durante años como actor de cine y teatro en Cuba antes de venir a Miami y próximamente se le podrá ver en “Killing Castro”, que se estrenará el próximo año.
