LA MISMA LUNA [UNDER THE SAME MOON] (2007) | Directed by Patricia Riggen

Single mother leaves her young son in the care of his grandmother and illegally crosses the border into the U.S. Though she hopes to eventually make a better life for herself and her son, she toils in a dead-end job as a cleaning lady in Los Angeles. When his grandmother passes away some years later, the boy begins a difficult and dangerous journey to join her.

ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS

Patricia Riggen is recognized as one of America’s leading women directors. She seamlessly directs films and television across genres, from her latest action thriller, G20, starring Viola Davis, to her Sundance success LA MISMA LUNA, the Sony Pictures box-office hit MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN, starring Jennifer Garner and GIRL IN PROGRESS featuring Eva Mendes. For THE 33, the gripping drama about the Chilean miner rescue starring Antonio Banderas and Juliette Binoche, Patricia spent 30 days shooting underground in real mines. Regardless of genre, scope, or medium, she brings humanity to every character and story she tells.

Between feature films, Patricia directs pilots and episodic television for major networks and streaming platforms. Notably, she directed multiple episodes of the Emmy-winning drama DOPESICK, starring Michael Keaton, as well as the action-packed first season of Tom Clancy’s JACK RYAN.

Patricia studied film at Columbia University’s School of the Arts. Her first short film won a Student Academy Award, a Student Emmy, and a Mexican Academy Award. Her second film, a documentary about photographer Gordon Parks, won the Jury Prize at Sundance. In 2011, she directed Lemonade Mouth for Disney Channel, a beloved classic among young audiences worldwide, which earned her a Directors Guild of America (DGA) Award nomination.

Originally from Mexico, Patricia is one of the few women of color to have directed top-grossing films in the past decade.
