Yellow

The follow-up to his feature debut, director Alfred De Villa’s Yellow is drama starring Roselyn Sanchez as Amaryllis, an aspiring dancer trying to make it in New York City. After her father unexpectedly commits suicide, Amaryllis leaves her native Puerto Rico for the Big Apple with dreams of stardom. Naturally, she meets more than a little adversity and soon finds herself working as a stripper to make ends meet. But with a cadre of supportive new friends and ample moxie, she just might beat the odds. Also starring D.B. Sweeney, Yellow screened at the 2006 New York Latino Film Festival., Roselyn Sanchez adds flash to this “Flashdance”-like rags-to-riches winner about a young Puerto Rican dancer who sets her sights on stardom in New York City. But she must first toil in seedy establishments before she can land her big break. D.B. Sweeney adds excellent support as an admirer, a Park Avenue doctor who spots her pole-dancing in a “gentlemen’s club.” Directed by Alfredo De Villa. Bill Duke, Manny Perez, Jaime Tirelli, Erika Michaels, Sammi Rotibi, Richard Petrocelli.
