She risks everything to locate and track down the people she believes were involved in the disappearance of her sister, Bea (Pamela Martinez). Set in the small town of Puerto Barrios, Sarita (Karen Martinez) attempts to infiltrate a local, dangerous gang of young men and women. The final product of Lerner’s labor is a female-driven crime drama that is filled with suspense and even a touch of mystery. Lerner gives painstaking attention to detail in every shot that features his star, Karen Martinez. He brings this same level of depth to his new project, Cadejo Blanco.
Up-and-coming film director Justin Lerner has received awards such as Audience Award Winner at the Gotham Independent Film Awards and Best Director at the White Sands International Film Festival. The film has a good leading actor, but the message gets muddled as other characters fail to bring the energy needed in their roles to make this film truly stand out. Roughly translated, the title means a mythical beast found in Central and South America - a white spirit dog. One of this year’s most talked about international films, Cadejo Blanco, comes from Guatemala. It’s National Hispanic Heritage Month and many streaming services are celebrating by highlighting the many projects that feature and are directed and written by Latinos.
