Chapa said working with Mr. Allen was one of the best experiences of his life. "Mr. Allen made me feel so comfortable. When I arrived on the set and working with him he practically jumped out of his director's chair with the energy of a young man coming to greet me. Mr. Allen made me feel so relaxed to do the role. I felt very nervous after not working in a major film in a long time. He is a brilliant man and knows exactly what he wants as an artist. I felt very safe on the set."
"The film set was the most prestigious set I have been on and I have been on many. The fact that Woody Allen directed me in the film was wonderful. However, one of the other great experiences was working with the cinematographer from Apocalypse Now 'Vittorio Storaro'. It was a dream come true for me to work with two brilliant men, no matter how small the role was."
Damian Chapa started his career starring in Academy award winning Taylor Hackford's 'Blood In Blood Out' playing iconic character Miklo Velka. The epic Mexican American story has become a cult classic. Chapa has also directed and starred in two biopics of iconic actor Brando called 'Brando Unauthorized' (2010), and another on controversial director Roman Polanski, 'Polanski Unauthorized', (2009).
Rifkin's Festival is set to premiere at the San Sebastian International Film Festival September 2020. The film has already secured Spanish distribution with Tripictures.
