Modesto will pay over three installments. It had set aside at least $500,000 because it anticipated owing the attorneys' fees.

The money is going to pay the fees of the three law firms that argued the case on behalf of three Latino residents who claimed Modesto's at-large City Council elections disenfranchised minority voters."

"We were upset," said Olivo, an accountant and member of the local Hispanic chamber of commerce. "But we realized we really didn't have the means to act politically on their behalf."

About two years later, he and a few other chamber members have turned their frustration into action. They have started the Hispanic Political Action Committee of Silicon Valley, which will debut with a fundraising luncheon Friday in San Jose. State Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero, D-Los Angeles, and Sen. Jeff Denham, R-Modesto, will speak on the state of Latino political power in California."

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.
