The 24th Annual Chicago Latino Film Festival has selected Las Dos Caras de Jano as an official film entry. This is the second film produced by Protégé Films which stars noted Puerto Rican actor, Modesto Lacén.
Las Dos Caras de Jano The Two Faces of Janus is the story of Isabelo Andújar Lacén, a private detective on a mission to catch serial killer “The Angel of Bachelors” who preys on some of Puerto Rico’s closeted homosexual male socialites.
A familiar face in Hispanic television and film such as My Family and Desamores to major motion pictures The Animal with Terrence Howard and Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights, Modesto is assuredly staking his claim to the title of Puerto Rico’s and America’s crossover “multi-threat” source of talent. Modesto’s talent has been dully noted and recognized with Special Mention at the Tribeca Film Festival for his work in 12 Hours and an ACE Award nomination for Best Actor in his current off-Broadway lead in Celia: the Life and Music of Celia Cruz. He plays the role of Celia’s husband, Pedro Knight.
The film is available for screening on Saturday, April 5th at 4 p.m. and Sunday, April 6th at 8:30 p.m. Both screenings will take place at the Landmark Century Centre Cinema, 2828 North Clark Street in Chicago, IL. To view the trailer, please visit www.youtube.com/user/EdmundoHR. Double XXposure has arranged a special viewing of the movie in its entirety just for you at our New York City office located at 1 West 34th Street, Suite 201, New York, NY 10001. The screening dates are April 17th and April 18th from 12-6pm on both days. It will be shown every two hours. We request that you please call the Double XXposure offices to rsvp your preferred time for viewing.
This film is also scheduled for entry into HBO’s New York International Latino Film Festival which will take place in New York City, July 2008.
