Lalo Alvarez, an award-winning television and music video editor, steps behind the camera to direct his first Spanish language short film. Mi Promesa is a powerful story about broken hearts, shattered promises and the unimaginable sacrifices some will make in the name of love. It has been described as a risky exploration of some serious subjects that are not often addressed in the Hispanic community. It is the hope of Mr. Alvarez that his movie will open the eyes of his audiences and ignite conversation.
