Michele Serros
An award-winning poet and commentator for National Public Radio (Morning
Edition, Weekend All Things Considered), Michele Serros has released a
spoken-word CD on Mercury Records and toured nationally with Lollapalooza
as a Road Poet, reading her work to stadium crowds of 25,000+. She was
selected by the Getty Research Institute and the Poetry Society of America
to have her poetry placed on MTA buses throughout Los Angeles County and
has been a featured contributor for the Los Angeles Times' children's
fiction section. Serros' new collection of fiction, How to be a Chicana
Role Model, (Riverhead Books) was published in July 2000, and instantly
reached the Los Angeles Times bestseller list. She was recently named
by Newsweek as "one of the top young women to watch for in the new
century." Michele spent 2002 living in Los Angeles and writing for
the ABC television sitcom, The George Lopez Show. "An opportunity,"
she says, "that hopefully with my contribution opens the door for
a wider representation of Latinos in the mass media."

(Prod./Dir. Albert Xavier, Writ. Michael Masucci, 2003, Drama/Thriller,

After serving ten of a twenty-five year sentence, Fabio Reyes wants nothing
more than to re-establish his relationship with his daughter and live
in peace. But life is never fair and demons never die. Soon Fabio finds
himself embroiled in a web of deception and murder where nothing is what
it seems and where no one can be trusted, The film captures the truisms
of a Dominican culture by filming actual members of the community as extras
and its players in authentic locations throughout NYC. Director, Albert
Xavier will be present for Q&A following the screening.
