Hitting theaters on October 24 in NY (Film Forum) and 10\/26 in LA and SF followed by a national release is ‘Life And Nothing More,’<\/strong> which had its World Premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.<\/p>\n

In his remarkable second feature, Spanish-born filmmaker Antonio M\u00e9ndez Esparza<\/strong>\u00a0follows-up his debut drama “Aqu\u00ed y all\u00e1” with another sensitive portrait of a struggling family.<\/p>\n

The film\u00a0was shot using mostly non-professional actors across two-and-a-half years, and it follows a young African American family as they battle the realities of race, the legal system and social inequality against the backdrop of the U.S. election. Before they can face the future, the family must reckon with their past.<\/p>\n

Regina (Regina Williams<\/strong>) lives with her teenage son, Andrew (Andrew Bleechington<\/strong>), and her four-year-old daughter, Ry\u2019nesia (Ry\u2019nesia Chambers<\/strong>). As a single working mom, having a life beyond her job at the diner and her kids is difficult, especially as Andrew rejects any men who enter her life. Andrew is a good kid, though; he takes care of his younger sister, picking her up from daycare and feeding and reading to her before bed. He yearns for his jailed father, but is terrified of ending up the same way. After an incident in a nearby park threatens her son\u2019s future, Regina wakes up to the fact that she needs to put their tensions aside and advocate for him.<\/p>\n

Antonio M\u00e9ndez Esparza’s debut film “Aqu\u00ed y All\u00e1” premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012, where it won the Critic\u2019s Week Award.<\/p>\n
