Muchísimas gracias por tu observación, ya hemos corregido la nota.
Excelente. Muy interesantes estos eventos.
Veo algunos detalles referentes a la develación y exhibición de “Sólo con tu pareja” el día sábado 6 de diciembre donde dice que “se contará con la presencia del director Jiménez Cacho”.
Deben checar bien su información, o quizá, quien la redactó es una persona muy joven.
El director de “Sólo con tu pareja” (1991) NO fue “Jiménez Cacho”, fué ALFONSO CUARON. Y aunque ciertamente Daniel Giménez Cacho ha incursionado dirigiendo o co-dirigiendo algunos trabajos, por supuesto es más reconocida su carrera como ACTOR (una muestra está en su excelente trabajo actualmente en “Arráncame la vida”).
Por otro lado, aunque Jiménez comúnmente se escribe con “J”, el apellido de este actor -en específico- se escribe con “G”, quedando como Daniel GIMENEZ Cacho.
Resumiendo, la información debería de decir: “se contará con la presencia del actor Daniel Giménez Cacho.”
Ojalá tomen en cuenta estas observaciones. Gracias.
