My real name is Manuel, but please call me Cain. I’m born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico for eighteen years. The name Cain comes after the story in the great Bible of Abel and Cain, two of the sons of Adam and Eve. In high school, a group of my friends called me Cain because they compared to me to a character in their favorite comic book, where the protagonist were two gay lovers called Abel and Cain. Around two months later, I met the love of my life, Joseph, who on our second date told me his full name was Joseph Abel.

Throughout this year, I’ll be writing about the extraordinary music that brings Independent films to life. From classics like Trainspotting to rebellious encounters like The Bling Ring. The experience is also very exciting for me since I haven’t seen some of the movies I will discuss. I hope to learn, and hold use of maintaining a blog and frequently posting subjects I love, throughout the course, and after finishing it.
