Tom Arnold, Laura Ramsey and Aurora Papile Talk ‘Pulling Strings’ (Video Interview)

Pulling Strings (in theaters Friday, Oct. 4) is a bilingual romantic comedy that follows an improbable duo: A mariachi singer and the U.S. embassy worker that denied him a visa to the States. The Mexican cast is lead by Jamie Camil and Omar Chaparro, but three American actors are key ingredients in this mix: Tom Arnold, Laura Ramsey and Aurora Papile. They told us about the experience of shooting in Mexico City, working with Jaime “Papa” Camil, these exciting times for Latino films, who would they serenade, and more.

“More than just a mariachi, Alejandro has a second full time job – he’s a single dad. When Alejandro tries to secure a visa for his young daughter to visit her grandparents in the U.S. Alejandro’s request is flatly denied by a young embassy worker, Rachel (Laura Ramsey). Later that evening, Alejandro and Canicas run into Rachel while playing a gig – which turns out to be a celebration of her promotion to a post in London. Alejandro seizes the coincidental encounter as a chance to change her mind on his rejected visa, and with Canicas by his side; they whisk her into an unforgettable adventure. And, while he gets busy pulling strings for a visa, it turns out the strings of his heart are pulled too.”
