Miami, FL – December 17, 2024 – Acclaimed advertising executive Sergio Vizuete, known for his work with global brands like the Los Angeles Lakers, Real Madrid, and Walmart, is making his mark in the world of independent cinema with the release of the official trailer for his feature film debut, Becoming Vera. Set for release in 2025, the film tells the powerful story of a young pianist battling poverty, predatory music producers, and her own insecurities to forge a path in the world of Latin Jazz.
Becoming Vera is more than a tale of inner strength and self-realization—it reflects Sergio’s deep-rooted passion for social impact. The film, set against a vibrant yet challenging backdrop, highlights themes of homelessness, human connection, and perseverance.
As a foster parent himself, Vizuete drew on his personal experience to craft a narrative that explores resilience and hope.
“Through Becoming Vera, I wanted to combine two things that have shaped my life—storytelling and advocacy. I’ve seen firsthand the resilience of foster children, and this film is a tribute to their strength and to everyone who dares to dream against all odds,” said Sergio Vizuete, writer and director of Becoming Vera.
Vizuete, who has worked with icons like Kobe Bryant, Becky G, and Sebastián Yatra, brings his signature cinematic style to the screen. Known for blending evocative visuals with understated emotion, his work has been recognized globally at festivals like the Emmy Awards, Cannes Film Festival, and Tribeca Film Festival.
