Latino Cinema Takes Center Stage at 2025 Sundance Film Festival

12.11.2024 | By |

Latino cinema arrives at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival carrying unprecedented momentum. Fresh off “In The Summers” historic Grand Jury Prize win last year – the first Latino-helmed film to claim the festival’s top honor – and “Emilia Pérez” dominating this year’s Golden Globe nominations with 10 nods, the Latino lineup at Park City promises to be one of the top draws at the festival this year.

09.17.2024 | By |

In a year when the economy has had many of us on edge, Selena Gomez, 32, recently became the first Latina self-made billionaire in America. This monumental achievement, largely due to her beauty brand Rare Beauty, should have been a major celebration. But if you look at the headlines from major outlets like Bloomberg and even Latino media, you’ll notice something missing: her Mexican-American identity. Read More

The Latino Renaissance Overlooked by Mainstream Media

04.30.2023 | By |

America is currently experiencing a Latino renaissance. Music festivals like Coachella are prominently featuring Latino artists. Groundbreaking Latino-led superhero films like “Blue Beetle” are hitting theaters. Actors like Pedro Pascal, Jenna Ortega, and Aubrey Plaza are hosting Saturday Night Live, while Mexican Regional music occupies the top three spots in global music. However, despite this influx of Latino talent, mainstream news outlets like The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The Wall Street Journal conspicuously overlook this cultural movement. Read More

West Side Story (Movie Review)

12.2.2021 | By |

As film critics prepare to vote for their best movies of 2021, Hispanic critics, in particular, have been anticipating the long-awaited retelling of Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story. Not just because it is a Spielberg-event film, but mainly because of the cultural weight the movie carries. Read More

Can Asian and Latino Unity Make ‘In The Heights’ Reach #1 At The Box Office?

05.25.2021 | By |

Can Asian and Latino Unity Make ‘In The Heights’ Reach #1 At The Box Office? The upcoming film ‘In The Heights,’ which already accounts for a Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jon Chu collaboration, has A LOT riding on it. If a movie about Latinos fails, studios will view it as evidence that moviegoers aren’t interested in seeing Latino stories. This is a bigger problem for Hispanics than it already is. If it opens at #1, it could single-handedly open the floodgates to Latino stories being normalized on-screen.

Netflix has a brand new Latinx show premiering February 17th called, The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia.

I had the chance to chat with its young female lead, Chavez, via phone, to discuss the improvement of Latinx images on-screen, sitcom formats, what it was like to be directed by Eva Longoria, and that new album she’s doing with Jencarlos Canela.

Seneca (Movie Review)

10.2.2019 | By |

New York indie films can be hit or miss. Still, Armando Riesco and Jason Chaet’s earnest movie Seneca, about a Puerto Rican actor’s personal and professional stagnation, is penetrating and at times cathartic. Read More
