As if ripped from today’s headlines reporting evictions, fires and protests in the streets, The Other Barrio follows investigator Roberto Morales as he
sifts through the suspicious circumstances of a fatal fire in a residential hotel in the Mission and finds himself face to face with murder, corruption and a dangerous flame from his past.
Directed by Dante Betteo, it is based on a story by San Francisco Poet Laureate Alejandro Murguía, this is SF Noir at its best, a tale of greed, murder, corruption and justice. It’s a production of Louis F. Dematteis and Dante Betteo.
Starring Richard Montoya, Verónica Valencia, Geoff Hoyle, Pearl Wong, Vincent Calvarese, Brian J. Patterson, James Hiser, Melinna Bobadilla, Sean San Jose, Christopher White, Don Lacy, Michael Torres and David Klein. Filmed entirely in San Francisco and San Mateo counties. A SF Noir Films Production.
