Acclaimed Latina actress and Hostos Community College professor, Sol Miranda, stars in the new film
“Come Find Me,” a mother-daughter story about highly accomplished women of color. The film will screen between January 13-19 at the Village East by Angelika movie theater in Manhattan.
Also a co-producer in the project, Miranda plays the lead role of Gloria, mother to Christina (Victoria Cartagena), who is struggling to prove herself in the competitive field of law. The movie follows their lives at different stages and the difficult situations that challenge the stability of their relationship.
“It is a beautifully executed and uplifting Latinx indie narrative about two strong, driven women. We hope that our tenacious Hostos community will be able to see itself in this story, will be moved by it, and that its message encourages thought-provoking conversations,” shared Miranda.
Miranda holds a Bachelor of Arts in Drama from the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus, and a Master of Fine Arts in Acting from the University of California, San Diego. She has been teaching theater at Hostos since 1995, where she reintroduced the Hostos Repertory Company in 2004. Miranda rose to worldwide recognition in 2014 after her recurring appearance in Tina Fey’s and Roberto Carlock’s Netflix show “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.” She played Donna María Nuñez, a stern maid trapped in a bunker with three other kidnapped women. Before this accomplishment, Miranda appeared on several episodes of “Law & Order” and had an already successful career in theater, production, and voice acting.
“Come Find Me,” directed by Daniel Poliner, opened the 2022 Peekskill Film Festival last summer and has been presented across the country.
