This past Tuesday night premiere of Shadow of the Cat, the supernatural mystery-thriller starring Danny Trejo and actor/restauranteur Guillermo Zapata was a Latinowood star-studded premiere of the highly anticipated Indican Pictures film attended by stars from TV, film, and music. It was a night to remember.

The evening began with a red carpet and screening followed by a Q&A at the Laemmle Royal in Los Angeles and continued with an intimate experience at SUR Restaurant and Lounge in West Hollywood where guests enjoyed global food and themed drinks in a lush tropical garden setting.

Shadow of the Cat delves into the story of Gato (Zapata) lives with his teenage daughter Emma (Maite Lanata) and a small group of people, including Sombra (Trejo), on an isolated farm without telephones or internet. But Emma, tempted by curiosity, runs away into town one day to attend a carnival and gets her hands on a mobile phone. After she uploads a video of herself to the internet, Emma is contacted by a mysterious woman named Celia (Mónica Antonópulos) who claims to be her long-lost mother. What follows is a mystical tale of family, identity and broken trust set amidst the turmoil of one girl’s question about her past.
