As a child, times were so financially difficult that he couldn’t afford to play a 25 cent video game. Instead, he would change a quarter to get five nickels and then flatten them until they were the size of a quarter. In Victor’s world, those five flattened nickels would ensure a full day of video games and a little bit of fun. This did not however, alleviate his mischievous behavior and the many days he spent in juvenile hall. Vengeance is Victor’s effort to raise awareness about how difficult it is to escape the mental harness of life in the inner city – a place where most are trapped by the confines of the environment for which they were raised. Fortunately, Victor had hands extended to him and he willingly grabbed those hands to lead him in a better direction. This is the essence of VENGENCE – to remind and enlighten others of the conflicts we all face that restrict us from rising above or doing more with our lives. Please help us spread this message and encourage the more affluent communities of people to educate and create awareness for those living an impoverished life. It is possible to have more! Victor Picena is proof! He is here, developing a film, with the goal to make a difference in our communities and the world.
