www.mulberrystreetmovie.com. The dvd was released 3/08/08 by Lionsgate's 8 Films To Die For series:

(Belladonna Prods., Jim Mickle-Director/Linda Moran Producer).  It was the opening film in Nov. 07's Toronto After Dark

Films' Horrorfest where it won 1st prize for a feature.  Within the past year two years this film was well received in U.S. and International

Film Festivals.  Antone sent cast and crew well wishes for the Toronto screening Gala and stayed in NYC for a positive and uplifting

interview for Revolucion Latina-http://youtube.com/user/RevolucionLatina,click on Revolucion Latina & the power of Antone Pagan  

This interview is conducted by a fellow Boriqua (Puerto Rican-dance teacher/dancer/choreographer) Luis Salgado, who is currently

enjoying the success of The Broadway Latino Musical, In The Heights.  This show is more uplifting and represents more realistic Latinos

living, dancing, playing, fighting, loving together within the sruggles of life, but on a positive tip, unlike 'psuedo' Latino characters in 

"West Side Story" and "Capeman" which do not nor never will capture the "Boriqua/Puerto Rican Essence! 

It is long overdue time for a change!  May "In the Heights" do well...and..(an update).. it is doing so!  

Antone can also be seen in the Pictures House’s release of Salsa music legend (that missed the mark) Hector Lavoe in El Cantante (as

J Lo’s brother Papo) also starring Marc Anthony.  Produced by innovative producer, David Maldonado of the recent off-Broadway

hit, Celia in NYC.
