Producers Emilio Estefan & Bruno Del Granado, other members of the film team, and the team from Sergio’s Cuban Restaurants will be in attendance to participate in a post-screening Q&A.

Croqueta Nation is a film that combines Miami's culinary scene with a restaurateur's vision to unite a community by breaking a world record. Set in Miami, this feel-good and playful story follows Carlos Gazitua, owner of Sergio's Cuban Restaurants, as he sets out to make croqueta history. His big plan of making the world's longest croqueta won't be easy to achieve, but will it be worth it in the end?


Guillermo Alfonso is a Cuban-American filmmaker from Miami with a unique style of storytelling. From documentaries about Koi fish in Japan to bare-knuckle fighters in Miami, Alfonso loves to tell a good tale.
