Wilmer Valderrama, Moises Arias, Mateo Arias, and Diane Guerrero in Blast Beat (2020)
On the cusp of the year 2000, Colombian brothers Carly (Mateo Arias) and Mateo (Moises Arias) prepare to move to the United States for their last years of high school. Metalhead Carly has his heart set on attending the Georgia Aerospace Institute and working for NASA, while his supportive parents (Diane Guerrero and Wilmer Valderrama) seize the chance to escape the political turmoil in Colombia and chase the American Dream. At first, Mateo is the only one to express any cynicism, but when the reality of their new life sinks in, the family struggles to adapt as their expectations are shattered. When events threaten to derail their future, Carly's dream becomes his only lifeline.

    WONDERFULL PERFORMANCES, AND A EMOTIVE STORY!!!!
    This is a real colombian movie, with excelent performances of Mateo Arias and Moises Arias, they made a great job and they glow in the film, but all the other actors are excelent too. Visually is so beautiful, the songs are very well used in all the different scenes, the shots are great and the way they are filmed is so amazing, the story is real, is something that happens, not just in Colombia, this happens in pretty much all the countries in latinamerica, this is a movie in which you can relate with any of the characters, the actings are emotive and excelent, a great colombo american movie, without any doubt one of the best movies of the year.
