La Tierra Que Yo Amo (Land That I Love)
After trying for seven years to successfully make it as a dancer in New York, a 30-year-old half-Mexican, half-American woman with dual citizenship reluctantly returns to her hometown of Oaxaca, Mexico and struggles to find her identity. [MIDNIGHT IN PARIS meets EVEN THE RAIN--38 awards/honors including, First Place-2015 Las Vegas Screenplay Contest (Drama Category), and Grand Prize-2015 London Film Awards (Feature Screenplay Category)]
A Buffalo, NY native, LaPoma’s creative voice was forged during a prolific decade of profound isolation where he translated internal struggle into a massive catalog of songs, scripts, and novels. This period earned him significant industry validation, including his black comedy screenplay, HARM FOR THE HOLIDAYS, which was optioned by legendary producer WARREN ZIDE (American Pie, Final Destination) and Wexlfish Pictures.
