A note from @daringtoexplore , the director of @elultimotramo_film : “On the outskirts of Buenos Aires is Vencer Para Vivir, a remarkable rehabilitation center that you wouldn’t easily stumble upon. In 2022, I visited my cousin @lucasactor39 in Argentina, seeing him for the first time in almost a decade. He had just finished two years at Vencer Para Vivir recovering from addiction. Today, he lives a renewed, clean life. What I found at Vencer Para Vivir defied my expectations. It wasn’t a hospital-like facility, nor did it follow a traditional 12-step program. Instead, the center operates on four core pillars: love, understanding, dialogue, and dedication. Residents take on various roles and responsibilities, reshaping their habits as they prepare to reintegrate into society. For Lucas, this place wasn’t just a rehabilitation center. It was home. Inspired by his journey, we made this deeply personal short film. Shot on location in Argentina, the 17-minute film seeks to humanize those struggling with addiction and shed light on the realities of getting clean. Featuring both actors and real-life residents of Vencer Para Vivir, the film tells a fictional yet deeply authentic story of resilience, community, and hope.” — Dominick Cura WATCH NOW on Youtube! 🇦🇷 tinyurl.com/eutfilm (link in bio) @vencerparavivir1 @vencerparavivirvi @l61productions @elultimotramo_film #elultimotramo #addictionrecovery #indiefilm #recoverystory

@elultimotramo_film wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the rehab center @vencerparavivir1 , and all those that have made it home. This is a story about community, and it truly is inspired by the amazing community of Vencer Para Vivir. We made this film with a mission: to challenge the stigma of recovery, humanize those dealing with addiction and emphasize the power of community in making each day a little bit easier. Out now, watch our short film, EL ÚLTIMO TRAMO on Youtube! 🔗 tinyurl.com/eutfilm #elultimotramo #recoveryjourney #addictionrecovery #addictionawareness

🎥 Now you can finally watch our short film @elultimotramo_film on YouTube! 🇦🇷 🔗 Follow the link here or in bio: tinyurl.com/eutfilm So happy to finally have this project out for everyone to see. It’s been in the works for years with an international Argentine-American cast and crew. Very special thanks to my cousin @lucasactor39 for proposing the idea of making a short film all those years ago, and to @jeremiahschuler @schulerjohnny @xicofoto , who really helped us bring it to life. Of course, this wouldn’t have been possible without the support of everyone at @vencerparavivir1 . I’m so thankful to share a story that reflects the hope and strength of the community at Vencer Para Vivir that I witnessed every time I visited and spoke with people there. I’m so proud of my cousin @lucasactor39 for putting his heart and soul into this film, not only as a co-writer, but as the lead actor, alongside his own son. While set in Argentina, it speaks to a universal experience: addiction and the stigma that too often accompanies it. 🧉 Watch now: tinyurl.com/eutfilm 🇦🇷

The cousins (director @daringtoexplore and actor @lucasactor39 ) before and after shooting the short film EL ÚLTIMO TRAMO. It all began in 2022, when Dominick visited Lucas who had just spent two years in recovery at the Vencer para Vivir rehab center in Argentina. During that visit, Lucas shared an idea: to make a short film that tells the story of addiction and recovery, and the mental, familial, and emotional sacrifices it takes to heal. Two years later, in 2024, they brought that idea to life and shot El Último Tramo with amazingly talented cast and crew. 🎬 Watch it in person: MARCH 29 in LA (RSVP via link in bio) 📺 Worldwide YouTube premiere: MARCH 31
