Mexico should be 'springboard' for LatAm films, actor Gael Garcia says

Guadalajara (Mexico), Dec 7 (EFE) .- Mexican actor and director Gael García Bernal said Saturday that Mexico can take advantage of its proximity to the United States and be a springboard for Latin American films to be distributed in the US."Mexico should take advantage of the geographical and cultural position to be a very strong core and springboard for Latin American films, not only Mexican movies. They really have a lot of potential," Garcia Bernal said during a press conference at the Mexican International Book Fair (FIL) in Guadalajara, in which he presented his new book "Chicuarotes".
