‘Música’ Stars Rudy Mancuso and Camila Mendes Detail Crafting the ‘Least Romantic’ Rom-Com Meet Cute | Video

“I wanted to flip some of the conventions as much as possible,” the first-time director tells TheWrap of his Prime Video movie

This article contains spoilers for the Prime Video movie, “Música.”

Rudy Mancuso — an Internet sensation since the days of the Vine app — makes his directorial debut with “Música,” a semi-autobiographical, untraditional romantic comedy and coming-of-age film with an ambiguous ending.

Mancuso stars opposite Camila Mendes as himself, a “charismatic but directionless young street performer” from the Ironbound neighborhood in Newark, N.J. For as long as he can remember, his condition of synesthesia has manifested in his brain organizing everyday sounds into complex patterns and rhythms.

Rudy’s synesthesia first gets between his relationship with Haley (Francesca Reale) since he often finds himself distracted by his music-inclined mind.
