The UC Recap
The trailer for the much-anticipated In The Heights movie may have made its official premiere elsewhere, but on Wednesday, December 11 the cast and crew were welcomed home with a raucous and spirited affair at 809 on Dyckman. To see one’s neighborhood rendered so beautifully and tenderly gave everyone in attendance the collective chills and moved folks so much that the trailer had to be played twice that evening. The adoring crowd was also treated to a spectacular gag reel that illustrated the genuine bond the cast shared. The love in the room was palpable as all these luminaries who were a part of this film shared stories from what they all said was the best summer of their lives working on this project. The In The Heights movie is set to take over the globe next year but this past week it conquered Uptown. Washington Heights will never be the same again. The film will be released on June 26, 2020.
'Tis really the season. Forget the ponche, it's piragua time. Check out the exclusive new teaser trailer for the cinematic ode to uptown streets #InTheHeightsMovie.
Film release by Warner Bros on June 26, 2020.

Spread Love: Que León
Spanglish Movies is back with another hot film. After making waves with its debut in the Dominican Republic and Puerto, Que León is coming to the states today, Friday, January 25, 2019. The film marks the first acting role for Reggaeton sensation Ozuna and boasts a stellar cast of some serious talent such as Clarissa Molina, Celines Toribio, Raymond Pozo and Miguel Céspedes to name just a few. Directed by Frank Perozo, Que León is a feel good film that will have you laughing from the beginning to the very end. The movie also does an excellent job of highlighting the rugged beauty of the Dominican Republic. The island is very much a character in the film.
The Dominican film industry has been growing by leaps and bounds and Que León represents a major development in that trajectory. Que León is the first Caribbean film to reach 25 countries and in the United states to reach 15 states, 35 cities and 65 theaters in its premiere in theaters. With that said, it is imperative that we support that growth, which will ensure that these types of films continue to be made. So get your tickets ASAP and let your people know that they have to see Que León.
By the way, word on the street is that Que León 2 is already in the works. Stay tuned!

MT Love: NYC Premier of “Don’t Look” Tonight
Tonight is the opening night of the 16th Annual NYC Horror Film Festival at Cinepolis Theater in Chelsea (W. 23rd Street) and good friend of the Manhattan Times, Javier E. Gomez, will have the NYC premier of his film, “Don’t Look.”
Five New York City Millennials escape the Big Apple for a rustic Thanksgiving weekend in the country, but something threatens to shatter their peaceful getaway and they are targeted for murder.
Nicole, Ted, Lorena, Alex and Sebastian are off to party, but upon arriving at their idyllic farmhouse getaway, everything seems perfect as the friends let down their guard with food, drinks and sexy romance. The mood quickly turns sour as Nicole’s painful memories begin to encroach and her friends suddenly start to go missing…one-by-one.
As their savagely butchered dead bodies begin to turn up, the race is on for Nicole and her surviving friends to find the unknown killer before it’s too late.

Bodega Bid ¡Atención, atención!
Lin-Manuel Miranda wants you to audition for In The Heights, the story of Usnavi, the earnest bodega owner who wants to move back to the Dominican Republic after he inherits his Abuela’s fortune, and his close-knit neighborhood crew who live and work uptown.
In a 40-second bilingual rap, Miranda announced a world-wide casting call for the new movie: “Lights up on Washington Heights up — at the break of day, I wake up; I got all these roles someone was made to play. Necesito que representen, mi gente. Could it be you? — pues, depende”. The digital open call lets anyone submit an iPhone video for four roles—a stylish sassy female, a smart and streetwise goofball, a starry-eyed young woman and an energetic, charismatic male rapper. All roles require singing, dancing and familiarity with Spanish.

City debuts carshare pilot
Curb it.
The city has partnered with carsharing companies on a program Mayor Bill de Blasio hopes will encourage New Yorkers to give up their personal vehicles.
Through a two-year pilot program with Zipcar and Enterprise, which launched on June 4, the city will dedicate 230 on-street parking spaces in 14 neighborhoods for carshare vehicles.
In addition, 55 dedicated parking spots at 17 Department of Transportation (DOT) lots will be reserved for carsharing, as well as 24 spaces at New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) complexes lacking nearby public transportation options.
Both Zipcar and Enterprise will provide discounts to NYCHA residents citywide, while IDNYC cardholders are eligible for a complimentary, one-year Zipcar membership.

The authority said it estimates power will be restored within 24 to 36 hours. The cause of the blackout is unclear.
The utility said its priority was to restore service to hospitals, San Juan's airport, water pumping systems and banks.

Stray dogs, or Satos as they are known on the island, are a common sight in Puerto Rico, one that unsettled Chrissy Beckles.
Originally from England, Beckles moved to the U.S. and had her own consulting business. On a return flight from Puerto Rico in 2007, she had what she called, “her Oprah moment.” She started calling organizations to see if she could help and began to volunteer.
Eventually she quit her business and started The Sato Project in 2011.
The organization spays and neuters dogs. Volunteers feed them and arrange for medical care. They also bring dogs to the mainland for adoption.
Since the hurricane, The Sato Project has reunited 183 families with their dogs.
“We call it the ‘No Dog Left Behind Program,’” Beckles said. “It’s a program we’d love to continue but we need financial help.”
“In an average year, we rescue about 300 to 350 dogs,” she said. “Since September, we’ve rescued over 1,000.”
