Barbaro Maikel Mendoza Muñoz
Maikel will portray the character of Barbaro, one of the protagonists in the short film, The Interrogation.
He is a Cuban dancer, actor, dance instructor and filmmaker. Currently pursuing filmmaking in SAE Amsterdam. He is my classmate whom I've worked with some of my recent film assignments at SAE.
Yes, I named the role after him although it is entirely fictional. In the original script, the character is only labeled as The Man. Naming it as Barbaro creates an illusion of it being something personal to Maikel. Which I intend to do the same thing with the immigration officer's name once I cast that role.
