Ex-Cub Cardenas' directorial debut tackles dark comedy

Adrian Cardenas, a former Major League Baseball player, is launching his film directorial career with "In An Orderly Fashion." This project recently completed production in Miami, Florida. The film's cast is led by Oscar Nuñez and Marlene Forte, alongside Otmara Marrero and Vivian Ruiz.

The narrative of "In An Orderly Fashion" centers on Rafa, portrayed by Nuñez, a dedicated physical therapist. Rafa anticipates a globe-trotting retirement, but his plans are dramatically altered by a terminal illness diagnosis on his first day of freedom. His ensuing request to his wife, Aida (Forte), for euthanasia before he knows his end date, creates significant turmoil.

Cardenas, who also has roots in Miami, expressed gratitude for the collaboration. He highlighted the trust placed in him by the lead actors as they navigated the film's blend of dark comedy and drama. The production fostered a familial atmosphere among the cast and crew.
