Música: Rudy Mancuso and Camila Mendes in Conversation with MTV’s Josh Horowitz

Apr 2, 2024


From the colorful mind of Rudy Mancuso comes Música, starring Camila Mendes, Francesca Reale and J.B. Smoove. Loosely based on writer/director Mancuso’s own experiences, Música is a colorful, charming, laugh-out-loud funny coming-of-age love story that follows an aspiring creator with synesthesia, who must come to terms with an uncertain future, while navigating the pressures of love, family and his Brazilian culture in Newark, NJ. Mancuso stars as Rudy, a soon-to-be college graduate and street performer living with his mom (portrayed by his real-life mother, Maria Mancuso), who experiences synesthesia which manifests as hearing rhythms within quotidian sounds. Already feeling stuck in life — between his seemingly futile passion for music and performing, the long-term relationship with a girlfriend who has very different plans than he does, and his mother who puts pressure on him to find and commit to a Brazilian girl as soon as possible — things become more complicated when he meets the enthralling Isabella (Mendes) at his local fish market. See a screening then join Mancuso and Mendes — who are a couple in real life — for a talkback.
