Make it stand out.

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".

I think the one thing that sets me apart as a creative is my focus on growth through execution. I feel like a lot of artists I see in what would be considered my peer space, are looking to grow and then execute. Everyone is focused on making it big to show you how great they are as opposed to making great things that become the catalyst for success.

Vega stands out from his peers in the industry due to his completionist personality which gives him the resilience to start something and make sure it gets finished, which tends to be a major struggle for most creatives in the film space.

Dominican-American writer/director from Providence, RI, Vega Montañez, draws the support of undefeated UFC fighters, Hip Hop Icons, Media Personalities, and an Emmy Award winning producer to bring his next feature film to audiences around the world.

"Nico is the story about a detective, Detective Carera, who is incredibly focused on resolving the murder of a young boy," said writer Vega Montanez.
