“I’m always looking for good stories. Sometimes the plot presents itself before the character, and at other times, the character evolves before the story, which was the case for ‘The Fixer.’ I was eating lengua tacos at a local Mexican stand in Los Angeles, thinking about family, acceptance and forgiveness”, recalls director Michael Schilf. “My wife is Mexican, and as a Caucasian of European descent, I had experienced first hand the intricate process of acceptance into a large ethnic family. Then I wondered, could an outsider be accepted into a mafia family? And with that, the character of Jack Cross was born.”
