Filmmaker Duo Fernanda Valadez, Astrid Rondero Sign With CAA Following Sundance Award Win (EXCLUSIVE)
Fernanda Valadez, Astrid Rondero's 'Sujo' premiered at Sundance Film Festival and won the Grand Jury Prize for World Dramatic competition.
Valadez and Rondero co-directed and co-wrote “Sujo,” which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and won the Grand Jury Prize for World Dramatic competition. According to Sundance, “‘Sujo’ recenters stories of cartel violence by exploring its aftermath, the collateral damage, and its orphans. With lyrical intensity and a penetrating humanity, it offers a moving, contemporary coming-of-age portrait of Sujo, a young man named after a strong-willed horse, and the way his identity, consciousness, and moral character are shaped through various episodes — by the women who protect him, the boys lured toward their fathers’ fates, the mentorship of a teacher — as if they are seasons in his growth.”
