If ever a film was born for IndieFest, it is "The Other Barrio." The San Francisco Chronicle.
*********************************************
San Francisco is the city that birthed noir. Producer Lou Dematteis and director Dante Betteo have taken advantage of the city's rich noir history and ensconced "The Other Barrio," in the beating heart of San Francisco's vibrant Mission District. The Huffington Post
*********************************************
The ultimate Mission story. Told in a surreal noir style, Betteo is able to bring his audience to the very real world of evictions and real estate speculation that is sweeping across San Francisco and the US. Kudos to Betteo and his production team, for it is a most powerful story, Must see. A real gem. Celina Rodriguez, KZSF Radio.

“Bravo!” — Lawrence Ferlinghetti, San Francisco Poet.
*********************************************
The satisfying ending will leave the viewer hopeful, but with the sobering knowledge that there is still much left to do. It’s a film everyone should see. Mabel Jiménez, El Tecolote Newspaper, San Francisco.
*********************************************
The Other Barrio, centerpiece of this year’s SF IndieFest, is an excellent example of independent filmmaking — made as a collective community effort, with an ultra low budget and the urgency to communicate a heartfelt message. An ode to a barrio that claims its validity as it seems to be fading away. Iñaki Fernández De Retana, Remezcla.

“A direct call to action.” – Leah Garchik, The San Francisco Chronicle.
