How can you have a film festival without a film that has the theme of a film within a film?\u00a0 Simple.\u00a0 You can\u2019t.\u00a0 If there was ever a film to include as a \u201cMust See\u201d at Los Angeles Film Festival 2014, it\u2019s RECOMMENDED BY ENRIQUE.<\/p>\n

\"LAFF<\/p>\n

Making it\u2019s world premiere at LAFF, RECOMMENDED BY ENRIQUE is a two-pronged tale.\u00a0 The one is that of a young starlet who we find in the dusty border town of Del Rio, Texas working on her first feature film.\u00a0 Of course it\u2019s a lo-budget\/no budget indie horror entitled \u201cReturn of the Phantom Guards\u201d complete with vintage 70-esque effects.\u00a0 But, there\u2019s no director in sight as he is allegedly in Hollywood getting financing and taking meetings for bigger and better things leaving a crew consisting of some local teens imbued with the whole idea of\u00a0 \u201cGee kids! Let\u2019s put on a show\u201d to \u201cmake a movie\u201d.\u00a0 Having found our Star on YouTube where she posts daily video blogs of herself, the teen crew and AD-cum-director continually applaud her performances and stare in wide-eyed amazement and awe at her scene preparation techniques to \u201cget in the moment\u201d.\u00a0 No moment though is more inspiring than showing fear at a dead goat hanging from a tree.<\/p>\n

Staying at the same motel as our Star, is a weathered old Cowboy who himself has come to Del Rio for a job.\u00a0 He appears to be a gardener or landscaper waiting to deliver and plant two beautiful palms at someone\u2019s home.\u00a0 Carrying them everywhere, including sleeping between them in his hotel room, one-sided mysterious phone calls and his quiet loner qualities make you look twice at this kindly polite man, and ask “what’s his story?”.\u00a0 Don’t worry.\u00a0 You’ll find out soon enough.<\/p>\n

Written and directed by Rania Attieh and Daniel Garcia, RECOMMENDED BY ENRIQUE is a fun witty romp, showing the potential of these filmmakers to take out us out of the moment and ask the question, \u201cIs it real or is it fantasy?\u201d\u00a0 Also serving as cinematographer, Garcia creates a polished look making great use of color saturation.\u00a0 But where visuals truly excel are with some of the most engaging, interesting and fun footage that begs for its own film are the \u201call that is left\u201d snippets of \u201cThe Return of the Phantom Guards\u201d which serve the end credits well.\u00a0 Some great technical effects add to the mix while newcomer Sarah Swinwood brings her own brand of quirkiness to our Star.<\/p>\n

Written and Directed by Rania Attieh and Daniel Garcia<\/p>\n

Cast:\u00a0\u00a0 Sarah Swinwood, Lino Varela<\/p>\n
