So I really had a necessity somehow to get back to why I do movies at all.
The idea was to make movies about the reality that I knew, that most people didnt thatsEasy Money.
Did Espinosa suffer from that experience?

Madame Lunais the story of an Eritrean refugee who hides her identity as the notorious and eponymous human trafficker.
On Day 1 ofMadame Luna, which shot in Italy, a sort of lightbulb went off for Espinosa.
Espinosa equates himself toMadame Lunas lead character, Shes also a fraud, like me.
After this happy return to his roots, would he go back to working in Hollywood?
