You may not know the name Alan Blanco, but something tells me you soon will! This young filmmaker and Penn State graduate is making a name for himself. His debut feature film, Manos Sucias, with first-time director Josef Wladyka has made the film festival rounds to critical acclaim. Blanco co-wrote and shot the film, which was executive produced by Spike Lee. The deeply affecting story is set, and shot, in a part of the world we rarely see on screen: the drug underworld of Buenaventura, Columbia.
