CASA DE MI PADRE’s title track is an original song written by Andrew Steele and Patrick Perez, and performed by four-time GRAMMY® Award winner Christina Aguilera.
“Will, Andrew and I are excited to have Pantelion distribute the movie -- especially since our collective knowledge of the Spanish language amounts to what we learned during a half-hour Learning Annex class taken the night before production of the film began,” said director Matt Piedmont. “We loved collaborating with NALA to make this movie and now can't wait to have it released. Pantelion and NALA are the perfect team to get it out there.”
“We cannot imagine a better vehicle than CASA DE MI PADRE to demonstrate how a Spanish language film can appeal to a broad main stream audience,” said Pantelion Films CEO, Paul Presburger. “We are enthusiastic about joining forces with NALA Films on this project and feel that Will, Matt and Andrew have proven that if it’s funny, we all laugh in the same language.”
“We are thrilled about partnering with Pantelion to bring CASA DE MI PADRE to all audiences,” said NALA Films President and COO Darlene Caamano Loquet. “Comedy has no barriers, and that can be seen in the terrific performances and work delivered by this international cast and creative team.”
