ABOUT US
Mariana Buoninconti and Rubén Darío Cruz met in 2003 while working in theatre in the lower east side. They married the next year. In 2006, they started their own company producing film and theatre and providing workshops for children and seniors in the metropolitan area.
Mariana has numerous awards in theater as is President of the non-profit Latin American Intercultural Alliance. More info on L.A.I.A. can be found at https://www.facebook.com/LAIAinternacional.
Ruben has written, directed, and produced over 200 television programs, commercials, and short films. His love of photography happened when experimenting with the new digital camera and video format so popular today. Working with single focus lens and more intimate contact with people due to the small size made Ruben truly appreciate the still image. He has been named New Yorker of the Week by NY1 for his work with seniors.
