What does an Irishman and latinos have in common? Well a lot more than you may think. For starters director, Macdara Vallely of the Bronx and a native of Northern Ireland is married to a Puerto Rican and he speaks fluent Spanish.

Tonight, Vallely’s Bronx based film, “Babygirl” – a coming of age story with a twist, will have its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival according to the Daily News. 2 years ago, I had the pleasure of reading Vallely’s script which was completely engrossing and am now more than ecstatic that it has made it to the big screen.

Don’t forget to catch Babygirl at the festival or you can watch it online for a limited time only as well as vote for the film.

A big CONGRATULATIONS to Macdara Vallely, the cast and all who contributed to making this wonderful Bronx based film!
