Filmmaker Jeannette Godoy: From One Spec Commercial To Directing Her Romcom "Diamond In The Rough."

<p>Filmmmaker <a href="https://www.jeannettegodoydirector.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeannette Godoy</a> screens her romcom feature film <a href= "https://nylatinofilmfestival.com/2023/movies/diamond-in-the-rough/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Diamond In The Rough"</a> on September 22nd as part of the <a href= "https://nylatinofilmfestival.com/2023/movies/diamond-in-the-rough/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NY Latino Film Festival</a> at the Regal Union Square. Jeannette is a talented writer, producer, director and my lovely wife. She started in the business as a dancer/choreographer, choreographing Sir Mix A Lot's "Baby Got Back" before making her first commercial for Bridgestone Tires that took her to Cannes Lions Festival over there in France. Along the way, she's directed dozens of spots for Nike, Bumble, CDC, PetSmart and more. During the pandemic she created a web series <a href= "https://youtu.be/VoNbhIGDFho?si=IWZ_XTcPynEjdKOj" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Pure Corazòn"</a> for Bumble, then directed her first episode of television for HBO Max's "The Garcias".  A few months later, the studio making "Diamond In The Rough" had her pitch on the film and she was in prep 5 days later. It's a great story. </p> <p>We chat about the commonalities and differences of her many gigs, her latest passion project and documentaries. Of course we plug the NY Latino Film Festival and hope you can make it out.</p> <p>Here's the <a href= "https://www.jeannettegodoydirector.com/?wix-vod-video-id=169188846b0445fd84a77bb8f380c3d8&wix-vod-comp-id=comp-iwc4pn92" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trailer</a> for the movie.</p> <p>Click my name for your MAGIC MIND discount code: <a href= "https://www.magicmind.com/jordan20" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><strong>JORDANB</strong></a> - so gobble it up.
