The book is the inspiration of an upcoming series based on the narrative, of which, the pilot (Episode one) is now in postproduction. The author of the book O. Vazquez, an internationally renowned entertainer, also stars as the main character “Kool” in the series along with a stellar cast of up-n-coming actors. The saga follows the life of “Kool” as he navigates an unforgiving landscape growing up East Los Angeles during The Great Depression as a young Mexican-American and having a Black best friend “Ray” in a time of radical racism and oppression. The book is filled with “true history” and it’s a highly-acclaimed international seller. Once the bilingual series get picked up, it will have a grand international appeal to Spanish speaking countries and Europe as it’s filled with true-to-life drama, Jazz, Tap dancing and Swing, modernized with elements of Hip Hop music and dance.
The pilot for the series was just filmed in May of 2024. Our partners, Fesiuk Films and Nu Paradigm Ent. need your help to manifest postproduction/marketing costs for pitching and to find the funder(s) for all three seasons, as we wish to join the new trend of independent production of TV series and selling it as a whole to the streaming platforms. We wish to preserve the powerful storyline and historical truths of events like: The Zoot Suits Riots; The Chinese Massacre of 1871; the treatment of minorities during WWII; and many other factors to give a fair view of little-known history. It truly is what they were ashamed to tell us in history class. Please join our cause and assist our dream by clicking on our GoFundMe and donating anything possible. Or purchasing the novel to help spread our mission and message!
With your help, we can Rebirth the Kool!
