NEW YORK, NEW YORK (August 1, 2019)- Me 3.769, a short by award-winning filmmaker Elaine Del Valle exclusively premieres on HBO NOW on August 1. The critically acclaimed film comes about in a time when child sexual abuse is at the forefront of the news, and the #MeToo movement is in full throws.

The triggering nine-minute short, starring Rodolfo Salas (‘Betty en New York‘) and debuting actress, Samantha Lopez, screens at the HBO Latino-sponsored New York Latino Film Festival (NYLFF), one of the nation’s premier Urban Latino film events, Saturday, August 17 at AMC Theatre in Manhattan.
