New York, NY – May 24, 2007 “When you buried your father, you buried us with him” never rang more true as in this passionate, cinematic short about brotherhood, honor and salsa dance. Shot over a three-day period in Los Angeles, CA, MANO features Giancarlo Esposito, Lee Thompson Young, Laz Alonso, Yesenia Adame and Teddy Garces in supporting roles. Directed by: Tony Nardolillo, MANO is the featured short film prefacing the FULL FEATURE LENGTH FILM script written by Tony Nardolillo, who plays the lead role of Victor. 

Victor and Machito were best friends growing up and heavily involved in the underground salsa scene. Separated as teenagers after the death of Victor's father, Victor leaves New York all together, however the passion for dance and music never leaves him. After returning to the block he grew up on years later, he seeks out his childhood buddy Machito, whom he discovers has followed his father’s fatal footsteps.
