Sundance Film Festival doesn’t lend itself toward long walks. With us snug in the warm backseat of our Lyft ride, our driver asks about the films we’ve seen.
We mention we’re on the way to interview the directors of Mucho Mucho Amor, a new documentary about genderqueer Latino psychic, Walter Mercado.
The film comes to Netflix July 8.Walter Mercado?! The driver practically bellowed the words. Our driver mentioned that he grew up in Venezuela, where Mercado had scores of fans.At his peak, the ever-flamboyant Mercado had tens of millions of followers, as he appeared on a series of radio and television shows, authored books and published columns in newspapers and magazines.
