Gregory Diaz, Leslie Grace, Melissa Barrera interview In The Heights

#InTheHeights #LeslieGrace #MelissaBarrera ||| “In the Heights’’ takes place in the vibrant community of Washington Heights in New York where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community; a community much like the ones that many Latinos grow up in. The film highlights each of our Latin cultures through its music (we’ll see hip-hop, salsa, merengue, soul), through the languages spoken, and dreams that are brought to life. Lights up on Washington Heights, a world very much of its place, but universal in its experience, where the streets are made of music and little dreams become big... The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st Street subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is the likeable, magnetic bodega owner Usnavi, who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines and sings about a better life. BlackTree TV
