Maya picks up "Amexicano"
Maya Entertainment has picked up US rights to Matthew Bonifacio's "Amexicano," about a friendship between a working-class Queens man and an immigrant day-laborer.
Pic preemed at the 2007 Tribeca fest and won the top prize at Sonoma Valley.
Maya bills itself as the only Latino owned and managed company focusing on the US Latino audience. They recently acquired Alex Rivera's Sundance winning sci-fier "Sleep Dealer."
"Amexicano" will roll out to major US cities on September 19 (tomorrow).
