The feel-good comedy is the feature debut of writer-director and stars veteran improv comic , TV personality Kristina Guerrero (E!

The film tells the story of Franklin (Bartholomew), the best wine salesman in the Yakima Valley, who discovers his girlfriend is cheating on him and accidentally befriends the "other man." "More than anything, this is a film about letting go," said Castañeda. "Writing the film was a way of giving myself the courage to actually take chances myself."

Castañeda is an accomplished writer and director, with award-winning short films, commercials, and new media, including the popular comedy web series Coma, Period. Cement Suitcase was produced by Psychic Bunny, a production company based in Los Angeles, co-founded by filmmakers Castañeda and Spice, along with fellow USC alums Asa Shumskas Tait and Jesse Vigil, who both served as Executive Producers.
"This is such an honor, among the many other highly inventive and vividly independent films at the festival," said producer Spice. "The audience we had at Dances With Films was just spectacular," added Castañeda. "I've seen the film hundreds of times throughout the post production process, but hearing the laughter and applause made it feel like the very first time. It sounded like we had a lot of wine lovers in the crowd."
