Fidel Castro Claimed That History Would Absolve

I'm A Fan Of Ernest Hemingway Work And Specifically The Old Man And The Sea. I Researched The Relationship He Had With The Captain Of His Boat For 20 Years, Gregorio Fuentes, And That Inspired Me To Write A Screenplay About It.

I Think If The Movie Has Resonance And Stimulates The Viewer To Talk About It, You Can Have As Large An Audience As You Want. The Most Important Thing For Me Is That The Movie Exists. And That's Success Enough Already.

I'm Not The Type Of Person Who Goes Through All This Effort For A Movie, And Then Doesn't Care If Anybody Sees It. I Want Them To See It, And I Want Them To See It On The Big Screen.

I Wish We Didn't Have To Tell This Story.

My Grandfather Was A Very Elegant Individual. My Father Also. He Was A Lawyer And Farmer In Cuba. In Miami, He Had To Go To Work Wherever He Could. But Whenever It Was Time To Go Out, You Saw How They Cared For How They Looked.
