Problemista

Written & directed by Julio Torres
98 minutes | Rated R

Alejandro (Torres) is an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador, struggling to bring his unusual ideas to life in New York City. As time on his work visa runs out, a job assisting an erratic art-world outcast (Tilda Swinton) becomes his only hope to stay in the country and realize his dream. From writer/director Julio Torres comes a surreal adventure through the equally treacherous worlds of New York City and the U.S. Immigration system. Problemista is a fresh comedic take on an oft-unseen immigrant story about an artist’s journey through the streets of New York City and American bureaucracy.
