Michael Walker and Susan Gomes Interview for The Legend of Juan Jose Mundo

Описание: LRM Online's Gig Patta spoke with director Michael Walker and co-writer Susan Gomes for the teen comedy The Legend of Juan Jose Mundo.

Synopsis:
Break out your leg warmers and shoulder pads, because The Legend of Juan Jose Mundo is about to transport you back to 1984. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Michael Walker, this coming-of-age comedy captures all the awkward charm and big-hearted earnestness of Jewish teenage life in suburban New York in the 80s.

Based on a true story, Julie (Anna Mirodin, “Priscilla”) thought she’d be hosting a female exchange student, but when the charming and effortlessly cool Juan Jose Mundo (Alexandro Byrd, Decendents: Wicked Wonderland) shows up from Spain, everything changes. The guys want to be him, the girls want to be with him, and poor Julie can’t help but fall head over heels. With the help of her bold best friend Suzanne (Hannah Kepple, “Cobra Kai”), Julie must find the courage to say how she feels before Juan’s American adventure comes to an end. What follows is a sweet, nostalgic journey through first crushes, loyal friendships, and the courage it takes to speak up for yourself.

Full of vintage vibes, big hair, and even bigger emotions, The Legend of Juan Jose Mundo is a nostalgic, feel-good celebration about finding yourself, and your first crush, in a world lit by the glow of arcade screens and young dreams.
