William Earl New Cadence Prods. has teamed with Migrant Filmworks to shepherd the release of the indie rom com “Say a Little Prayer,” which marks the film acting debut of Latin music superstar Luis Fonsi.
The partners plan to set up a limited theatrical release for the film, directed by Patrick Perez Vidauri, followed by a streaming pact.
The deal for “Say a Little Prayer” came out of the film marketplace hosted by the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival from May 29-June 2.
Fonsi scored a massive worldwide hit in 2019 with “Despacito.” He has penned new music for the film and also serves as a producer. ” ‘Say A Little Prayer is a story about love, wanting it, losing it and finding it when you least expect it,” said Fonsi. “I’m proud to be a part of this funny, relatable and heartwarming movie as one of the lead actors, producer and songwriter.” “Say A Little Prayer” revolves around three friends — played by Vannessa Vásquez (“Divorce Bait”), Jackie Cruz (“Orange Is The New Black”) and Vivian Lamolli (“East Los High”) — who recite an ancient prayer in search of true love.
