I assume most, if not all, would agree that life is full of the unexpected. Despite us already knowing a change in course can strike at any moment, we're awestruck when it happens. 

Marcos is too. He's diving into a new chapter in his life after a divorce, finding himself in pilot mode, and at a loss for money. In this new romantic comedy, Amor en 266 Millas (Love in 266 Miles), we follow the life of Marcos who when armed with an idea is determined to get back in touch with his dreams, to not only follow them, but to achieve them.

​When his younger brother and sister-in-law plot to change his plans, he embarks with them across 266 miles in the high desert. This highlights a life-changing journey for all of them. 
Guacamaya Films (Honduras/Puerto Rico), helmed by producer Mathew Kodath and director Benji Lopez announced their indie film Amor en 266 Millas is an Official Selection at the Dances with Films Festival. The world premiere of the feature film will be on Tuesday, June 16, 2022, 9:15 p.m. at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
“I am very excited for this release and to finally see the people 's reaction at the theater. Filming A266 in Los Angeles with this amazingly talented cast and crew was a unique experience.This film marks an important point in time where my life took a turn and is a very personal piece for me,” said director Benji Lopez.

Producer Mathew Kodath added, "Amor En 266 Millas is the culmination of 12 years of creating movies and original content that have made an impact at the box office in Central America and Puerto Rico. 
A266 represented a unique opportunity for us to step outside the producing comfort zones of our local markets in Puerto Rico, Honduras and El Salvador, to deliver a universally relatable narrative that can be enjoyed by audiences all over the world. Guacamaya Films is thrilled to be able to do our world premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre at DWF. We are glad we waited”

    "Live"

    by Jessica G Ferrer
    Think of the painted lady.
    Its short lived life is colorful, 

    It's bright.
    Unless interrupted, it carries on. 
    It flies... 
    ​
    Fulfilling its one and only short lived life. "
