THE COMPATRIOTS, the new award winning comedy/drama film: the filmmaker and the star

Spencer Cohen's award-winning comedy THE COMPATRIOTS is now available on all major platforms in the US and Canada. A nuanced portrayal of immigration, friendship, and LGBTQIA+ experiences, THE COMPATRIOTS follows Javi (Rafael Silva), an undocumented immigrant facing deportation, who unexpectedly reunites with his estranged best friend Hunter (Denis Shepherd), a vivacious bachelor seeking deeper connections. Together, they embark on a heartfelt journey to prevent Javi's expulsion from the only country he has ever called home. 

    Today I had an in-depth conversation with Spencer and Rafael about the heart and soul that went into making this acclaimed film (it is 8.6 out of 10 stars on IMDB).
