STAGES - BEST DOCUMENTARY at HBO's New York International Latino Film Festival

STAGES
a feature documentary by the Meerkat Media Collective

Official Selection of HBO's New York International Latino Film Festival.

THE MOVIE: In New York City's changing Lower East Side, a group of older Puerto Rican women and inner-city youth come together to create an original play out of the stories of their lives. Weaving together themes of immigration, evolution, aging and coming of age, Stages offers an intimate portrait of an unlikely ensemble, transformed by the liberating power of their own stories.

--

THE MAKERS: Collaboratively directed by twelve people, Stages is the Meerkat Media Collectives first feature-length film. Since 2005, Meerkat Media has also produced over twenty short films, which have been featured in film festivals and screenings nationally and internationally. Through skill sharing and collective authorship, Meerkat Media strives to create works with a non-hierarchical and inclusive creative process.
