Mucho Mas Media and Bonniedale Entertainment are proud to present Julio Quintana’s latest sports drama, The Long Game, starring Jay Hernandez and Dennis Quaid. This highly anticipated film is set to hit theaters nationwide on April 12th, bringing audiences an unforgettable cinematic experience.
A Winning Combination
The Long Game marks the reunion of Quintana and Quaid after the success of their first collaboration, Netflix’s true-story sports drama Blue Miracle. Their creative partnership has proven to captivate and inspire viewers, and The Long Game is no exception.
Inspired by Humberto G. Garcia’s Mustang Miracle, The Long Game tells the remarkable true story of five young Mexican American caddies in 1955. In a time when racial segregation was still prevalent, these courageous individuals defied all odds and created their own golf course in the South Texas brush country. Armed with outdated and inferior equipment, and without any professional training, they embarked on a remarkable journey.
Despite facing countless obstacles and going up against wealthy, all-white teams, these determined young caddies fearlessly competed and achieved the unimaginable. Their unwavering spirit and relentless pursuit of their dreams led them to victory in the 1957 Texas State High School Golf Championship.
The Long Game is a film that transcends the boundaries of sports. It is an American dream story that embodies the spirit of resilience, perseverance, and overcoming adversity. With an all-star Latino cast and crew, this film celebrates diversity and represents an important milestone in the industry.

Making this film with an all-star Latino cast and crew and partnering with Bonniedale sets an exciting blueprint for Mucho Mas Releasing.”

He describes it as a true and inspiring story, beautifully brought to life by Julio Quintana. The Long Game embodies the qualities that Bonniedale seeks to share with audiences – stories that inspire, uplift, and remind us of the resilience of the human spirit.
In addition to Hernandez and Quaid, The Long Game boasts a talented ensemble cast, including Cheech Marin, Julian Works, Paulina Chavez, Jaina Lee Ortiz, Brett Cullen, and Oscar Nuñez. Each member of the cast brings their unique talents and charisma to the film, further enhancing its impact and emotional resonance.
