Puerto Rican-born actor and director Bruno Irrizary says it was something rather unexpected that landed Lin-Manuel Miranda the leading role in his latest film, “200 Cartas.”
“I told him your Spanish is so bad, I want you to be my
lead actor,” laughs Irrizary, adding that he’s also a brilliant actor
and performer.
The semi-autobiographical romantic comedy is Irrizary’s
only second feature film, but it is already breaking boundaries — as it
is fully bilingual. It tells the story of a Nuyorican comic book artist
who falls in love with a Puerto Rican girl, Maria Sanchez, who was
visiting New York City. Miranda travels to Puerto Rico with his best
friend to look for her, and in their search self-discovery happens. The
film will be screening in New York City, for two weeks, starting Friday,
June 14.
