Bored with streaming the same old, same old? Forget Hollywood’s predictable narratives. Vega Montañez, the Dominican-Puerto Rican filmmaker with heat, is here to ignite your streaming experience.

Over the past weekend, I attend to a movie premiere like no other for an independent film, and I must say was highly impressed. The energy was amazing, and just overall you felt the love from the team to the cast members. There’s nothing like a proper rollout that goes well.

OPEN Monday host Doctor Bob Lee is taken behind-the-scenes of the film, "The Burden of Nine Lives", when Vega Montanez--Producer, Director and Writer--and cast members Steven Staine Fernandez, Ashley Rose Nicholas, and Luis Berrio join the show to speak about the film's premiere.

Losco Studios presents the Red Carpet Premiere for Award-winning, Bronx-based Dominican writer/director Vega Montanez’s latest action film “The Burden of Nine Lives,” at the Florence Gould Theater, 55 West 59th Street, New York, NY, on November 11, 2023 at 6:00pm.

On this week's episode of OPEN, Doctor Bob Lee is joined by Tracy Shelton, Executive Director of Kingsbridge-Riverdale-Van Cortlandt Development Corporation/KRVC, a Bronx-based not-for-profit, and Pete Maddocks, Actor, and Vega Montanez sit down with Bob to speak about what went into producing their film series, "Wake Up Call".
