The New York Latino Film Festival (Nylff) has set their lineup for their forthcoming hybrid edition of its fest which will take place September 14-20.
In the wake of the pandemic, many festivals have either canceled or pivoted to an entirely virtual program. Nylff is one of the Latinx-based film fests that have continued with plans for their annual fest — with the appropriate changes. The 21st edition will be a combination of virtual events and in-person, drive-in screenings that celebrates Latinx creators. The fest will also host the first Latino drive-in experience to take place both in New York and in The Bronx.
This year’s festival features nearly 75 films representing more than 10 countries, spanning all genres including features, shorts, documentaries, web series and experimental films.
“Inspired by the resilience of the Latino community, Nylff is proud to return with a fresh format featuring our first-ever drive-in experiences,” said Calixto Chinchilla,...

America Ferrera says visible change has finally come to Hollywood for Latino talent after years of being “unrecognized.” As a producer, her goal is bring even more diverse projects to audiences.
Ferrera made the comments Friday night at the National Hispanic Media Coalition’s 2020 Impact Awards in Beverly Hills, where she won the outstanding series producer honor for her work producing Gentefied and Superstore.
“For a very long time, I felt very alone and isolated as a Latina in this industry,” she said before praising the many generations of Latino creatives who paved the way.
“We are living in an era brought upon by many, many generations of Latino and Latina actors, producers, writers, directors, who stayed the course, and they paved the path,” she said. “Sometimes they did it all alone. Sometimes they went completely unseen, unrecognized, uncelebrated, and sometimes, they never got to see their visions and their...

America Ferrera: ‘For a Very Long Time, I Felt Very Alone and Isolated as a Latina in This Industry’
Even though she won Hollywood’s top TV awards, including an Emmy, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award for her lead role in “Ugly Betty,” America Ferrera felt on her own as a Latina actress.
“For a very long time, I felt very alone and isolated as a Latina in this industry,” Ferrera said Friday at the National Hispanic Media Coalition’s 2020 Impact Awards Gala in Beverly Hills. She won the outstanding series producer impact award for her producing work on “Gentefied” and “Superstore.”
“I know many of us in this room have felt that way,” Ferrera said. “But we can write the new mandate for Latinos in this industry.

A year ago at the Sundance Film Festival, a group of Latinx industry execs kept asking each other the same question: Where are the Latinos?
With only a few movies at the festival by U.S.-born Latinos and the lack of our voices represented in the stories being told, we realized how little progress we’ve made in Hollywood. We vented our frustration on panels and on social media, but by the end of the festival, it was clear that we had to do more than just complain if we really wanted to help our community move forward.
A year later, La Collab was born: In partnership with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, we launched a collective impact effort with the support of more than 60 allies and partners to double by 2030 the representation of Latinos in Hollywood, both in front and behind the camera.
We can’t do this alone.

Areu Bros, a multi-faceted film, TV and tech entity formed in 2018 after the purchase of the former Tyler Perry Studios campus in Atlanta, has launched a Qualified Opportunity Zones initiative.
Opportunity Zones, a federal effort begun by President Obama and continued under President Trump, are billed as creating a new marketplace worth as much as $6 trillion via the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. That legislation offers long-term equity investors sizable tax incentives for reinvesting capital gains in businesses and real estate located in low-income communities. The theory behind the act is that such reinvestment creates a more solid economic foundation for these communities.
While companies across many sectors of the economy have participated in the zones, Areu Bros. says it is the first in the entertainment industry. The company has a stated mandate to “support and nurture minority and women storytellers as well as innovators and creators by driving inclusion,...

ReFrame, the coalition formed by Women in Film, the Sundance Institute and IMDbPro, has designated a total of 20 films among 2018’s 100 highest-grossing titles to receive the ReFrame Stamp, which recognize standout, gender-balanced films.
The list released Wednesday includes Fox Searchlight’s Oscar Best Picture-nominated The Favourite, Paramount’s Transformers pic Bumblebee, Disney’s A Wrinkle In Time, Stx’s I Feel Pretty and Lionsgate’s The Spy Who Dumped Me. Nine additional films outside the top 100 were awarded stamps after applying (see the full lists below).
The stamp, launched last June, awarded 12 film stamps in 2017. But the group’s 2018 study found continued disparities in female representation and women of color, with just 4% of the top 100 films directed by a female (down from 6% a year ago), and 23% written by a female. A total of 37% featured female leads, with only 9% being women of color.

On the heels of the piece I published yesterday on Tyler Perry being at somewhat of a crossroads, comes news this morning that the filmmaker, via his 34th Street Films, and Lionsgate, have picked up an action/comedy pitch from screenwriters Jim and Brian Kehoe, titled Top Of The Food Chain, which is being described as City Slickers meets The Grey. Story specifics aren't yet public; and neither is whether Perry will star in the film, or simply produce. China-based Dmg Entertainment, which co-produced Iron Man 3 and Looper, is also on-board to produce, along with Perry, Ozzie Areu, Matt Moore and Chris Cowles. Dmg...

Craig Robinson and Kerry Washington star in Tina Gordon Chism's Peeples. Catch new videos from the comedy also with David Alan Grier, S. Epatha Merkerson, Tyler Williams, Melvin Van Peebles and Diahann Carroll, which opens via Lionsgate on May 10th, 2013. Chism directs and helms the film produced by Tyler Perry, Ozzie Areu, Paul Hall and Stephanie Allain. In my opinion, this is way too much like Universal's Meet the Parents and its sequels, starring Ben Stiller. It's like the remake of Death at a Funeral - unnecessary. Sparks fly when Wade Walker (Craig Robinson) crashes the preppy Peeples annual reunion in the Hamptons to ask for their precious daughter Grace's (Kerry Washington) hand in marriage.
