Strike One (2014)

Caught in the tumultuous tide of adolescence, Juan Garcia stands on the precipice of adulthood, his life unfolding in the shadowy labyrinth of a gang-dominated neighborhood. His existence is a delicate balance between two polar worlds: his fiercely ambitious sister Angie, a single mother diligently carving her path through the stark white canvas of the corporate world, and his uncle Manny, an ex-gang member, whose past transgressions have ironically transformed him into a sought-after actor, forever destined to portray the very gangsters he once embodied. Juan, in his youthful innocence, dreams of girls and the tantalizing promise of first love, oblivious to the unforgiving grip his neighborhood has on him. His affiliation with gang-related activities, although seemingly inconsequential, is a silent echo that could reverberate through his life, shaping his destiny in ways he can't yet comprehend. The judicial system, with its iron-fisted stance against gang affiliations, looms ominously, threatening to entangle Juan in a web from which escape might be impossible. 'Strike One' is a poignant exploration of a young boy's journey, navigating the treacherous terrain of adolescence within the confines of a gang-infested world. It's a tale of dreams and desperation, of a future beckoning just beyond reach, and a past that refuses to loosen its relentless grasp.
