“EKAJ is a film that embraces a slice of life that is rarely seen on the screen. It covers a topic we all know about, but one that hasn't been addressed in a long time... AIDS. But that said, I truly feel that EKAJ is so much more than a story about AIDS, it's so universal. It resonates what love is... what it is to lose it, and what it's like to continually search for it.  I think it says a lot about life, love and loss. Power struggles both within ourselves and with others. You nailed it! You truly honed in on Ekaj's journey... his inner conflict... having his sidekick Mecca (probably his one true friend/love) is so poignant. I felt his pain, his sadness, his wants and needs. Needless to say BRAVO!!!”

Winner of “Best Director” at The Brooklyn Film Festival 2013 for her film “Sleeping with the Fishes”

"You have a truly powerful film. Reminded me a lot of Midnight Cowboy in different ways, but mostly in the arc of the characters, their relationship, the way they struggled with the conditions of their lives."

“I had the pleasure of watching Cati Gonzalez’s EKAJ and I have to say, I was blown away. It truly captures the sense of an Independent Film.”
- Oscar Torre/Actor
Hangover III, Ladrones, Pretty Rose Bud, The Boatman

“It certainly is a truthful film, well shot, edited, with good performances. We have been struggling for years to get ours made and only come close (even with "A" list actors) so I applaud you.”
- Peter MacNicol/Actor
Ghost Busters II, Bean, 24, CSI: Cyber Crime, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D
