Connecticut Film Festival 2008

Jason (Jesse James) and Kyle (Reiley McClendon), recent friends from different sides of the tracks, become embroiled in the adventure of their lives when they discover a mysterious airplane at the local small-town airport. The boys sneak aboard the plane for a look, but are forced to hide in the luggage compartment when two strange men show up. Soon Jason and Kyle unexpectedly find themselves airborne over the open Arizona desert. But their troubles are only beginning as Jason and Kyle realize that they’re now involved in a heist to steal millions of dollars from the mob in this high-action, coming-of-age film.

INTIMIDAD paints an intimate portrait of Cecy and Camilo Ramirez, a hardworking, young couple living in a factory town across the Texas border. Their dream is to buy land and build a house so their 2 year-old daughter, Loida, cared for by Cecy’s faraway mother, can live with them. The dream slowly unravels as the everyday politics of living on minimum wage in extreme poverty strains their relationship. Intimidad challenges viewers to understand Cecy and Camilo as people first and interpret their complex lives through a simple story.
