Angelo Reyes Wins Award in Accolade Global Film Competition
Virginia Beach, VA, January 04, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Angelo Reyes, of Reyes Productions, has won a prestigious Award of Merit from The Accolade Global Film Competition. The award was given for Angelo Reyes's exciting short film, Groomed, which tells the story of Maria, a young girl who falls deeply in love and even more deeply into the dark world of human trafficking. Based on the life of sex trafficking survivor turned advocate Tanya Gould, the short film tackles a little-known phenomenon that has become all-too-common. Groomed stars Ana Roshelle Diaz as the Bottom and Queen Sugar’s Danielle Lyn in the pivotal role of Maria.
“With the character of Maria, Angelo brilliantly captures the vulnerability, devastation, and loss endured by the faceless multitudes of young women who are trapped in the world of human trafficking,” says Gould. “My hope is that Groomed helps people connect the dots, gain compassion to the realities of trafficking and pay more attention to what is happening right in their communities.” Maria's story is a familiar one - with a violent and heartbreaking twist. Frustrated with her mother's seemingly overbearing concern, teenage Maria runs to the arms of an older man who pays her attention and promises her love, if she will do just one thing. Maria realizes too late that what she thought was love was a ploy for control until a chance encounter changes everything.
