Selena
Vibrant and tuneful, Selena is the story of the Grammy Award-winning South Texas singer whose life tragically ended just as she was taking Tejano where it had never gone—into mainstream America. Pulsating with Selena's voice on the soundtrack and made with the participation of her family, the film brims with authenticity. It excitingly recreates the early life of a little girl who dreamed big, hit the road in the band bus named Big Bertha and whose concerts became electrifying events.
CUCO
DIRECTOR: JAZMIN GARCIA
Cuco- Hydrocodone Director’s Cut Music Video | Hydrocodone is a music video dedicated to the memory of our past and future selves. It's an abstract journey through a young man’s memories before and after a big accident.

Cuco is celebrating and leading this funeral procession because he is more alive than ever. - Jazmin (Director)
