Kayla to Play Monica Martinez in "El Nacional" Movie

"El Nacional" begins filming in February 2008.



Today, Monica awoke to a normal life. She dressed for school and was anxious to meet her friends - she is a leader in her circle. She loves to read, sing, and dance and one day hopes to make it big as an entertainer. She and her older brother Alex (age 11) rarely get along. Monica is strong-willed and assertive for her age, but she is still sensitive. She was not prepared for what happened today and wants to know what went wrong. She wants to know why her brothers and sisters are so afraid. Her life will never be the same. Visit: www.ElNacionalMovie.com
