Swiss-Peruvian and Chilean director Isabel Custer revealed the first look – clip from her debut film As You Like It-Like That! – a “genre-defying movie” that combines comedy, drama, musical theatre, performance art and more.
It follows a struggling Cuban American actress who must choose between her dream – to direct a Shakespeare play – and an opportunity – to act in a career-making series – or fail miserably at everything.
The film stars Junet Morales as Caro, Nick Puga as her sidekick Piki, Vicki Klein as Caro’s theater guru Letty Goldman, Triple threat Symphony Howlett as Caro’s rival Sarah and Puerto Rican comedian Noris Joffre as Caro’s cold-hearted mother and includes Young And the Restless actor Jordi Vilasuso as Oren Sax, and Cuban comedian Ruben Rabasa from I think you should leave as Tio Alberto.
The cast also features local South Florida comedians like Nicolas Pedro Souffrant and Plus Pierre, as well as Krystal Millie Valdez, Nadezhda Amé and first timer Noelle Nicholas.
As You Like It Like-Like That! is currently in post-production.
Directed and written by Isabel Custer, the comedy film is a vibrant, genre-defying take on identity, performance, and love. In addition to writing and directing the film, she also helped create the performance featured in the closing credits.
Her past filmmaking credits include her short dark comedy Night of the Living Data and her documentary El Maestro Lecuona, narrated by Andy Garcia. In Miami, she serves on the board of the Miami Film Lab and is the founder of the Key Biscayne Film Festival.
“I believe in storytelling that’s both personal and expansive,” said Custer in a statement. “With this film, I wanted to explore where culture, memory, and creativity collide—and to do it in a way that invites audiences to reflect, laugh, and feel deeply.”
