Can anyone give me the name of a Mexican film distributor in the western U.S.?

I tried finding one for months and months, with no success. I was told movies from Mexico will not do well, even in my market which is 60% Hispanic!!!

There is a Spanish movie that comes out this Fri from Lions Gate that you may want to try. "Ladron Que Roba Ladron".

Let me know if you find a Distributer.

Ladron will be a crowd pleaser....I ran the Miami premiere ( cast + producers and 350 other people )last week for the studio. Spanish diologue films are becoming harder to book since most product is American based with prints available day and date with sub-titles. I had a friend who was importing prints from Spain, Mexico and Argentina and had to give up due to lack of support. Disney animation is usually availble with a Spanish track, sometimes with DTS disk doing the language change.
