Sebastian Cordero is a fairly new voice in cinema thats going to be making waves for years to come. His breakout film, Crónicas, has just been released on DVD.

Besos y abrazos to the lovely and talented Isabel Davalos of CabezaHueca who, along with the inimitable Mauricio, showed me that the nightlife in Quito can last well into the next day while still doing some excellent work on this excellent film. Que bacan.

people interested in Ecuador or good movies should track down "Ratas, Ratones, Rateros", his previous movie.
Carlos Valencia is awesome in Ratas,.. The screenplay, direction and the richness of acurrate small details from everyday life in Ecuador are spot on.
The ending packs quite a punch also.
