Starting today, Latin American independent studio Talleres Uchawi is partnering with Facebook to provide exclusive rental opportunities for their film Lecciones Para un Beso (Lessons on How to Kiss). Costing a mere dollar to view, the film marks the first time a Colombian film has been available via the global social media site.
Lecciones Para un Beso is a romantic comedy from young Colombian director Juan Pablo Bustamante. The film premiered in Bustamante's native country of Colombia where it has broken box office records.
While the film might be set half a world away, the story is as universal as ever. The film follows a young boy who is forced to move when his mother opts to open a restaurant in another city. It is there that he meets and falls in love for the first time. Yearning for a kiss, but unfortunately inexperienced in the art, he enlists help from three of his mother's clients. The men accept his request, silently making a bet amongst themselves as to which of their advice will lead to the ultimate lip-lock.
The film is available exclusively through the film's facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/LPUBeso, so check it out and enjoy the movie.
About Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
