. Though writer/director Nancy De Los Santos originally based the story in her hometown of Chicago, a conversation with a San Antonio resident changed everything.
Set in such familiar locations as Jaime’s Place, La Villita, Centro de Artes and Main Plaza, and featuring icons of the San Antonio skyline including the Tower of the Americas, the Tower Life building and the Pearl smokestack on its promotional poster,Out of local pride, San Antonio accountant and community advocate Sylvia Romo took it upon herself to promote the movie by persuading new Santikos CEO Blake Hastings to schedule the additional screenings.
While art galleries and museums are a prominent feature of Chicago, the change of location to San Antonio worked, De Los Santos said. “The public art is just amazing, and the museums are just fantastic and beautiful. There were no major changes that I had to make to the story. It just is a world-class city.”
