Very Bad Movie, OK for TV

Humm where do I start.

First off, Cayo doesn't offer any interesting visuals. Its a shame since it was filmed mainly on the beautiful island of Culebra (i know its beautiful because I've been there, if you judge it from watching the film..well..its just OK) The photography is just awful, not even the slightest effort (filters, waiting for the best time of day) to produce nice colors. Basically looks like it was filmed at midday on the harsh tropical sun, with skies blown out, silvery and turbid water (seen on some water shots). Looks like production compromise, not on purpose.

Its cool, but nothing new, that they told the story by methodically revealing the scenes of the character's past while they live in their presently tragic situation. Its what keeps one semi interested. But, while the clothes and styling somewhat matches the different times of the actors lives, the movie doesn't use color or any distinctive photography styles to distinguish them. Also, The director tries to blend in some political satire and humor but it isn't effective and its way to literal and silly on the verge of stupid.

There are some decent scenes. The detoxification of the female drug addict (Daris Mejias) is one of them, and the acting of young Ivan (Kamar De Los Reyes) while he is having some problems with his wife in his NYC is OK (along with Roselyn) making for a decent scene.

But overall the movie looks like too many people made choices on it and doesn't have a definitive style. Which is a shame since its concept warranted a much much better treatment.

This movie deals with the life and times of three friends. How life plays tricks on them and how in the end they promote feelings and reactions among those around them.

This comment is to Yiye. I am the producer of the film and would like to know, if possible who are you or what are you. I am open to the most severe criticism, I have a tough skin. But would like to refer you to the rest of the viewers and comments herein included. I feel that most of your comments are charged against the film for other reasons not really related to the film. Maybe you saw a presentation at a movie house that had a blurry projector. The photography by Milton Grana has been hailed by those who know about Cinematography and those who do not. I do not find your comments fair to him, among others.

I hope you can someday watch this film from a not prejudiced vision.

We feel we have a good film. We do not think we have the best, or a perfect film...if that is a possibility.
