Ballpark Film Distributors has acquired UK rights to comedy Mariachi Gringo and is planning a theatrical launch on May 30.
The film tells the story of a lost American finding his true calling as a Mariachi player in Mexico. Shawn Ashmore (X-Men) spent six months learning to sing in the Spanish language and play guitar for the role. Martha Higardo, Lila Downs, Fernando Becerril and Kate Burton co-star.
The film is directed by Tom Gustafson from a screenplay by Cory Krueckeberg, and produced by Speak Productions and Sinsentido.
Mariachi Gringo has won awards at Mexico’s Guadalajara Film Festival, taking Best Film and Best Actress for Higardo.
