あらすじ・解説
On this episode we talk with Justin Floyd (Director/Writer) and Lizet Lopez (Producer). Justin and Lizet are both LA Natives and a part of the Arfo-Latino, and Latinx community. We talk about casting and how it came down to the last minute when casting their lead role. We also talk about opportunities for LatinX actors in the movie industry. Quinceañero follows a 14 year old boy who wants a Quince. Traditionally they are for girls, but he wants to have one, and is challenging the norm. We talk about our own experiences with Quince's and which one of us had one? Quinceañero is also breaking ground being a Musical, and yes Justin did write the lyrics to the songs in the movie. He decided to make this a musical because he wanted this film to bring some happiness and joy to society right now, with all we have gone thru the past year and half. The film is happy and bright but it does touch a very deep topic of acceptance, acceptance in our families with our loved ones and in society. Justin share's with us the inspiration behind the movie and how they want the audience to take away acceptance from this film. Quinceañero is part debuted at LaLiff Loss Angeles Latino International Film Festival. Justin was one of Five Afro Latino film makers to win mentorship and help from LaLiff to create his film. Quinceañero is currently on the festival route, be sure to follow them to find out when and where you can watch the movie.
