Algenis Perez Soto in ‘Sugar’: from the Dominican Republic to the Bronx
Local filmmakers Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden step up to bat with ‘Sugar’
One of their early films, “Gowanus, Brooklyn,” won the shorts prize at the
Sundance Film Festival in 2004, and three years later their first feature-length film, “Half Nelson” earned an Oscar nod for star Ryan Gosling. Now, Brooklyn-based writing-directing team Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden have a new project, “Sugar,” about the unlikely journey of an aspiring minor league baseball player, Miguel “Sugar” Santos (newcomer Algenis Perez Soto), from his humble home in the Dominican Republic, to the corn fields of Iowa, to the melting pot that is the Bronx.
