Musical Short Film “Deserted” Prepares for Special Virtual Viewing

Allie Gonino and Alexandra Chando announce the virtual viewing of their Musical Short Film “Deserted” on January 27th 2021 at 5pm PST/ 8pm EST.

‘Deserted’ tells the story of Lupita and José, a couple struggling to cope with the loss of their son who died in operation Iraqi Freedom, and the harsh realities that come with being socially disadvantaged immigrants in America. Lupita, whose main source of hope and strength has been her religious faith, must decide whether she will stay true to her religious beliefs, and continue to bear the abuse of her cheating husband, or if she will risk her life to change it.
