The Santa Barbara International Film Festival hosted the cast from McFarland USA at the screening of the movie. Director Niki Caro, Kevin Costner, and the 7 young men who starred as the championship team, all attended the film’s screening at the Arlington Theater in Santa Barbara. I had the honor of meeting the cast earlier in the day at the McFarland USA press event in Hollywood. These young men were a pleasure to meet and interview. Michael Aguero as Dimacio Diaz, Sergio Avelar as Victor Puentes, Hector Duran as Johnny Sameniego, Rafael Martinez as David Diaz, Johnny Ortiz as Jose Cardenas, Carlos Pratts as Thomas Valles and Ramiro Rodriguez as Danny Diaz make up the McFarland USA team based on the 1987 true story. McFarland USA brings us the story of coach Jim White and a group of novice runners from the economically challenged town of McFarland in California, who through the hard work, determination and the power of family, channel their exceptional running abilities and become champions. Don’t miss McFarland USA in theatres, February 20, 2015.
