Synopsis

Cuco Gomez-Gomez has just been found in bed—DEAD! And every single one of his meddling neighbors in the shabby live-in hotel has a theory on who did it and why.

Actor/writer-director Francisco Lorite and an eclectic ensemble cast of up-and-coming actors, bring you a stylized, off-kilter comedy-noir, part murder mystery, part mockumentary.

Sort of.

The History behind Cuco

  • NO CREW: The film was made without a crew. Francisco Lorite used his cast as the crew. Each actor played a role in the film but also participated in the production (line-producing, location scouting, art direction, etc.) by contributing his or her filmmaking skills.
  • NO MONEY: Each actor provided the initial financing, making a symbolic jump-starting donation of $100 to the production and thus all becoming co-producers of the film under the A Cool Co-op shingle.
  • NO CASTING: Each role was specifically written for the actors Francisco Lorite knew from his own acting gigs or from auditions and whom he wanted to work with.
  • MOTIVATIONS: What gave Francisco Lorite the idea to write Cuco’s story was the real life building and wacky community he lives in, where he ended up finding all of his actors. He also was interested in addressing the themes of miscommunication and gossip in small communities.
