The script was Shane's thesis project that he wrote during his time at NYFA and The Big Break Contest is one of the bigger competitions that Shane's screenwriting teachers encouraged him to enter.

"The instruction from professors and feedback from my classmates played a direct role in helping me write and fine-tune the screenplay", says Shane.

"As someone with proud Mexican heritage, it is something that I am excited about."
