Oye means listen up! I’ll be profiling brand spanking new US Latino films, in various stages and different genres so our community can promote their trajectory online and by word of mouth, and yes hopefully so distribution outfits and festivals take note! Case in point this week: Love Concord.

Filmmaker Toolkit

One of my favorite international sales agent is Memento. Now they are representing the film of one of my favorite people in the biz, the hyphenate director-producer-writer who also was put into the role of casting director by Steve Soderbergh while casting Che, Rodrigo (Rigo to his friends) Bellot.

Box Office

It’s rare for a film in Spanish or Portuguese to make it to a U.S. theater. Even within Latin America or Spain, it’s difficult for local films to compete against Hollywood blockbusters. Once in a while, against all odds, Latino films triumph at their local box office.

I came across Mamitas (ISA:Traction Media) as a short film version back in '07 and was struck by it's charm. At the time there were few and far between coming-of-age stories set in LA about a budding romance in teenagers that didn't involve pregnancies or gang culture yet Mamitas rang true in every sense. So, when Nick told me he was making the feature length version, I was anxious to read it, to see what journey he would take these two characters, Jordin and Felipa, on. I was pleasantly surprised by the elements he added to surround the core love story. These were teens with real life teen problems.

When the film premiered in Cuba at the Festival Internacional de Nuevo Cine Latino in Havana, the lines snaked around the block. Everywhere it’s played extra screenings have been added. And even with worldwide sales Alejandro Brugués stays humble. I asked him what would happen if he was a zombie. “Oh that’s easy. I’m the most useless person in the world. I’m a director and all I know how to do is make films. I would be the first one that would get eaten.”
