I couldn\u2019t have asked for more, or a better kickstart to my career in film.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cheng used that kickstart to his full advantage. His feature film\u00a0<i>Jos\u00e9<\/i>\u00a0is a nuanced look at the challenges and joys of gay life in Central America. The Spanish-language, English-subtitled film follows star Jos\u00e9 (Enrique Salanic), who lives at home with his mother (Ana Cecilia Mota), who makes ends meet by selling sandwiches at bus stops and who is not ready to let go of her youngest child. But when he meets Luis (Manolo Herrera), Jos\u00e9 is pushed to break down his own boundaries and take a leap of faith with this new relationship.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Jos\u00e9<\/i>\u00a0was written and produced by Cheng, along with George F. Roberson, and was shot in Guatemala with a non-industry artist and academic crew, making it the first major LGBTQIA+ film to come from the nation. Outsider Pictures is the film\u2019s North American distributor and world sales, while international festival sales are handled by Rediance (of Paris and Beijing).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyfa.edu\/film-school-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Jose-poster-JGP-hi-res-min.jpg\" rel=\"prettyPhoto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-33638\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nyfa.edu\/film-school-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Jose-poster-JGP-hi-res-min-208x300.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 376px) 100vw, 376px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nyfa.edu\/film-school-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Jose-poster-JGP-hi-res-min-208x300.jpg 208w, https:\/\/www.nyfa.edu\/film-school-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Jose-poster-JGP-hi-res-min-768x1106.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nyfa.edu\/film-school-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Jose-poster-JGP-hi-res-min-711x1024.jpg 711w, https:\/\/www.nyfa.edu\/film-school-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Jose-poster-JGP-hi-res-min.jpg 1333w\" alt=\"Li Cheng Jose\" width=\"376\" height=\"542\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The powerful film has resonated with audiences.
