										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Latino Creators Are No Longer An Underserved Sidebar</strong></p>



<p class="has-text-align-right">By Judi Jordan</p>



<p>The American Film Market® staged a bold and forward-looking comeback this year, roaring back into Los Angeles with <strong>6,132 attendees representing 83 countries</strong> and filling every corner of the Fairmont Century Plaza with energy, opportunity, and the unmistakable sense that global independent cinema is entering a new era. With <strong>285 companies from 35 nations</strong>, the sold-out exhibition floor reaffirmed AFM’s reputation as the must-attend global marketplace — and Latin America, Spain, and U.S. Latino creators were unmistakably in the mix.</p>



<p>One of the biggest additions to AFM 2025 was the new <strong>Innovation Hub</strong>, produced in collaboration with Marché du Film / Cannes Next. The Hub brought together nine cutting-edge companies, anchoring AFM’s first-ever <strong>AI-driven programming series</strong>. These sessions tackled everything from ethical AI deployment to creative automation and distribution disruption — with panelists urging independent filmmakers, especially those from underrepresented communities, to stay ahead of the technology that’s reshaping global storytelling. For Latino creatives, this wasn’t a warning — it was a roadmap.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="800" height="534" src="https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/filmmakers-lounge.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-85280" style="width:663px;height:auto" srcset="https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/filmmakers-lounge.jpg 800w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/filmmakers-lounge-300x200.jpg 300w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/filmmakers-lounge-768x513.jpg 768w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/filmmakers-lounge-585x390.jpg 585w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><sub><sup>AFM FIlmmaker Lounge</sup></sub></figcaption></figure>



<p>Another high-impact moment came with the spotlight on <strong>Navarra, Spain</strong>, presented by <strong>Arturo Cisneros</strong> and <strong>Beatriz Acinas</strong>. In one of the Market’s liveliest and most strategically important sessions, the duo introduced Navarra as Europe’s next breakout production hub, bolstered by <em>muy generoso</em> incentives, collaborative government support, and a streamlined co-production structure ideal for cross-border Spanish-language storytelling. With Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and the U.S. Latino sector increasingly expanding into prestige TV, genre, and epic drama, Navarra’s pitch resonated as more than financial — it felt like a cultural bridge. The addition of the new <strong>Creators’ Lounge</strong> provided the perfect atmosphere for these conversations to turn into collaborations on the spot.</p>



<p>Latino presence wasn’t limited to the exhibitor floor — it made powerful waves onstage as well. Latino leadership also dominated the conversation onstage. The <strong>“Crafting the Narrative…”</strong> panel featured words of wisdom-getting greenlit from <strong>Lourdes Diaz (AGC Studios, former President of Entertainment at Univision)</strong>. The session <strong>“Latinos Navigating Hollywood”</strong> assembled a powerhouse panel including Director <strong>Jay Torres, </strong>TV Writer/Author<strong> Rafael Agustín, </strong>Director<strong> Patricia Riggen </strong><em>(Miracles From Heaven)</em><strong>, Producer Yolanda Macias <em>(Terrifier 3)</em>, Robert Muñoz</strong>, Their discussion was frank, incisive, and deeply reflective of the moment: despite Latinos’ massive audience share and growing critical acclaim, greenlighting power and financing still lag far behind. But every panelist emphasized momentum — not deficit.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="617" src="https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Panel-Close-up-1024x617.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-85282" srcset="https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Panel-Close-up-1024x617.jpg 1024w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Panel-Close-up-300x181.jpg 300w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Panel-Close-up-768x463.jpg 768w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Panel-Close-up-1536x925.jpg 1536w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Panel-Close-up-2048x1234.jpg 2048w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Panel-Close-up-585x352.jpg 585w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><sub><sup><strong>Rafael Agustin</strong>, Writer <em>(Jane the Virgin); </em><strong>Yolanda Macias</strong>, Chief Motion Pictures Officer, <em>Cineverse; </em><strong>Patricia Riggen</strong>, Director <em>(G20, Dopesick); </em><strong>Robert Munoz</strong>, President, <em>Mucho Mas Media, </em><strong>Anthony Nardolillo</strong>, Director <em>(7th &amp; Union, Chicago Med)</em></sup></sub></figcaption></figure>



<p>They spoke of rising transnational collaborations, an explosion of Latino genre and prestige storytelling, and the increasing refusal of Latino creators to wait for permission. The message was clear: the talent is here, the global Spanish-language audience is here, and Hollywood’s inaction is now costing it financially and creatively.</p>



<p>Buyers from Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Colombia, Chile, and the U.S. Latino sector fueled the marketplace, underscoring how Spanish-speaking regions are shaping global content demand across streaming, theatrical, and hybrid distribution. By the close of the Market, one truth resonated louder than any keynote: <strong>Latino creators are no longer an underserved sidebar — they are central to the future of the global indie landscape.</strong> AFM’s return to Los Angeles simply made it impossible to ignore.</p><p>The post <a href="https://latinheat.com/american-film-market-quite-the-comeback-attendance-opportunity-the-rise-of-ai/">American Film Market: Quite The Comeback — Attendance, Opportunity & The Rise Of AI</a> first appeared on <a href="https://latinheat.com"></a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-medium-font-size">Chicano Hollywood Film Festival &#8211; July 17–20, 2025 In Pomona, CA</p>



<p class="has-text-align-right">By Bel Hernandez Castillo</p>



<p>What is a Chicano? </p>



<p>In his 1970 Los Angeles Times essay <em><a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/1970-02-06/who-is-a-chicano-and-what-is-it-the-chicanos-want" title=""><strong>What Is a Chicano? And What Do Chicanos Want?</strong></a></em>, the late, award-winning journalist <strong>Rubén Salazar</strong> defined a Chicano as “a Mexican-American with a non-Anglo image of himself.”</p>



<p>Chicanos are boldly authentic and now raising their voice proudly, creating content that is authentically theirs.  What better event to showcase their creativity than the Chicano Hollywood Film Festival. over 100 film and TV projects will be in full display at the first annual Chicano Hollywood Film Festival which takes place July 17–20, 2025, at The Union (350 Garey Ave, Pomona, CA). </p>



<p>The brainchild of ex-pastor and producer <strong>Johnny Murillo,</strong> the festival, (planned before the immigration raids began) will brazenly launch in spite of the ICE raids which are targeting undocumented farm laborers across Southern California. The festival positions itself as both a cultural celebration and a platform for protest—amplifying the stories, struggles, and strength of the Chicano and Latino communities. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="555" src="https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Chicano-Hollywood-Hero-Image-Home-1-1024x555.png" alt="" class="wp-image-84868" srcset="https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Chicano-Hollywood-Hero-Image-Home-1-1024x555.png 1024w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Chicano-Hollywood-Hero-Image-Home-1-300x163.png 300w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Chicano-Hollywood-Hero-Image-Home-1-768x416.png 768w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Chicano-Hollywood-Hero-Image-Home-1-585x317.png 585w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Chicano-Hollywood-Hero-Image-Home-1.png 1500w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Opening the film festival will be <em>The Last Brown Beret</em>, a gripping and timely feature directed by <strong>Del Zamora</strong> abd based on the play by writer/director <strong>Alfredo Ramos</strong>. The film revives the legacy of the Brown Berets, Civil Rights activists whose fight for justice in the 1960s echoes today’s urgent need for protection, dignity, and unity within the Chicano community amid fear of raids, riots, and mass arrests. </p>



<p>“This festival isn’t just about watching films—it’s about answering the call,” said <strong>Johnny Murillo</strong>, founder of Chicano Hollywood. “The Brown Berets stood up for our people. It’s time to do the same—with cameras, stories, and truth.”&nbsp;</p>



<p>In addition to spotlighting powerful features, the Chicano Hollywood Film Festival will showcase over 90 short films,<strong> </strong>television pilots, music videos, and digital projects from emerging Chicano/Latino filmmakers across the U.S. and Latin America. The diverse lineup highlights stories of identity, resistance, humor, and healing. </p>



<p>Featured films include:&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>&#8212; </strong><em style="font-weight: bold;">Ugly Little Monkey</em> – A powerful documentary produced and co-directed  by Chicano legend <strong>Enrique Castillo</strong> (<em>Montana</em> in <em>Blood in Blood Out</em>) and <strong>David Valdez</strong>, exploring the journey of the first Youth Mariachi in the U.S. whose trauma lead to healing through the music of Mariachi.  </p>



<p><strong>&#8212; <em>Horchata With Oat Milk</em></strong> – A viral, culture-clash comedy directed by <strong>Christian “LV” Leyva</strong>, addressing the issue of gentrification and offering fresh laughs with a Chicano twist.  </p>



<p><strong>&#8212; <em>A Little Family Drama</em></strong> – A layered and emotional dramedy directed by <strong>Nadia Zoe</strong> that brings generational conflict to light.  </p>



<p><strong>&#8212; <em>Cholita Takes LA</em></strong> – Directed by <strong>Sylvia Ray</strong>, a bold exploration of female empowerment within Chicana culture and a Bolivian Cholita Wrestler seeking identity.  </p>



<p><strong>&#8212; <em>Lost in the Barrio</em></strong> – Directed by <strong>Alberto Portillo</strong>, a gritty, heartfelt story of survival and loyalty in the urban neighborhood. Starring <strong>Fabian Alamar</strong> (<em>Flamin’ Hot</em>).  </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="695" height="463" src="https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Chicano-Hollywood-Audience.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-84869" srcset="https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Chicano-Hollywood-Audience.jpg 695w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Chicano-Hollywood-Audience-300x200.jpg 300w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Chicano-Hollywood-Audience-585x390.jpg 585w" sizes="(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px" /></figure>



<p>Festival goers can also expect live “DJ” sets, Q&amp;A panels, networking events, and the launch of the Chicano Hollywood Academy, an initiative to train the next generation of Latino creatives in acting, directing, production, and content monetization. </p>



<p>The Chicano Hollywood platform was created to elevate the&nbsp; Chicano voice in every space of culture, Chicano Hollywood is a groundbreaking media and cultural movement committed to empowering Chicano and Latino content creators. Through film, education, and strategic partnerships, it seeks to amplify underrepresented voices and reimagine representation in Hollywood and beyond.</p>



<p>“This is the first of many,” said Festival Director, <strong>Francisco Roe</strong>l. “We’re building a movement where Chicanos and Latinos own their stories, their space, and their future in entertainment.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>The post <a href="https://latinheat.com/leguizamo-does-america-turning-the-spotlight-on-u-s-latinos/">‘Leguizamo Does America” Turning The Spotlight on U.S. Latinos</a> first appeared on <a href="https://latinheat.com"></a>.</p>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size"><strong>Premiering Sunday, April 16</strong> <strong>at 10 PM (ET) on MSNBC</strong></p>



<p>If anyone can bring attention to the dynamics of what it is to be a US Latino in America on a national scale, its <strong>John Leguizamo</strong>.  It is what he has basically done all his career, only this time it will be the focus of a new six-part TV series from NBC News Studios, <em>Leguizamo Does America</em>, which he hosts and will begin airing Sunday, April 16 at 10 PM (ET) on MSNBC.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Michael-Pena-John-Leguizamo.png" alt="" class="wp-image-81831" width="760" height="428" srcset="https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Michael-Pena-John-Leguizamo.png 1000w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Michael-Pena-John-Leguizamo-300x169.png 300w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Michael-Pena-John-Leguizamo-768x433.png 768w, https://latinheat.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Michael-Pena-John-Leguizamo-585x330.png 585w" sizes="(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><sub>Actor <strong>Michael Peña</strong> (<em>End of Watch</em>) and <strong>John Leguizamo</strong></sub></figcaption></figure>



<p>Each episode will feature a different city where Latinos have a large presence, or in the case of Los Angeles are almost 50% of the population.  He will be visiting six cities in total, New York, Miami, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Puerto Rico, and we interview some high profile Latinos about what it&#8217;s like to be a U.S. Latino and the culture.</p>



<p>If you are a fan of Leguizamo, you know his acting career includes stage, TV and film you know his work from some of his more high profile roles in <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_%2B_Juliet"></a><em>To Wong Foo, Thanks for<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Wong_Foo,_Thanks_for_Everything!_Julie_Newmar"> </a>Everything! Julie Newmar</em> (1995</em>), <em>Moulin Rouge!</em>, and more recently <em>The Menu</em>.</p>



<p>But it was through the theater that Leguizamo got the attention of audiences with his half-dozen his one-man shows on Broadway (and off Broadway). His topic most generally were bio-autobiographical or he would spoof his family and friends.   </p>



<p>In 1991, Leguizamo wrote and performed in the Off-Broadway production mostly focused on is life and being Latino. In <em>Mambo Mouth</em>, he played seven different characters and went on to win an Obie Award and an Outer Critics Award. He was listed as one of 12 &#8220;Promising New Actors of 1991&#8221; by John Willis&#8217; Screen Worlds. His next theater production was <em>Spic-O-Rama</em>, where he made fun of the stereotyping of Latinos in the United States, several of his shows became HBO specials as well as <em>Freak</em>.  In 2002, he wrote and performed <em>Sexaholix&#8230; A Love Story</em>.  His most current theater piece was in 2017, when he debuted <em>Latin History for Morons</em> a show about the participation of Latin Americans throughout US history. It was also in 2017 that he was presented with a Special Tony Award for his body of work and for his commitment to bringing diverse stories and audiences to Broadway for three decades.</p>



<p>And Leguizamo he takes his affinity for setting the record straight on the contribution of US Latinos seriously, hence the latest of his projects where Latinos are front and center.</p>

<p>In <em>Leguizamo Does America</em>, which premieres this Sunday, April 16 at 10pm (ET) on MSNBC Leguizamo travels across the country to celebrate the rich and diverse Latino cultures in six different destinations, exploring food, politics, music, and everything in between along the way.</p>



<p>Director <strong>Ben DeJesus </strong>(Latin History for Morons), a frequent collaborator of Leguizamo directed the series said in a recent NBC article, &#8220;It’s a lot of Latin themes and people, but this is really a show for all kinds of audiences&#8221;. He also credits the show as being a &#8220;life-changing&#8221; experience for him.</p>

<p>The post <a href="https://latinheat.com/grasie-mercedes-joins-cast-of-grand-crew-as-series-regular/">Grasie Mercedes Joins Cast of ‘Grand Crew’ as Series Regular</a> first appeared on <a href="https://latinheat.com"></a>.</p>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NBC announced today that <strong>Grasie Mercedes</strong> has been added to the cast of NBC&#8217;s upcoming comedy series <em>Grand Crew</em>.  <strong>Phil Augusta Jackson</strong> (<em>Brooklyn Nine-Nine</em>) will be writing and executive producing along with<em> </em><strong>Dan Goor</strong>, who is one of the creators of <em>Brooklyn Nine-Nine.</em> <strong>Mo Marable</strong> will direct and co-executive produce the pilot. </p>


<p>Mercedes is a Dominican-American transplant from New York City, now living in Los Angeles. Her acting career includes appearances and stints on some of television&#8217;s most noted shows including <em>9-1-1</em> (FOX), <em>Good Trouble</em> (Freeform), HBO&#8217;s The Affair and <em>Criminal Minds</em> (CBS). She also recently wrote on NBC&#8217;s <em>Perfect Harmony</em>. </p>


<p><em>Grand Crew</em> is set around a group of young professionals trying to navigate the ups and downs of life and love in Los Angeles—always finding time to gather at their favorite bar to “wine down” and unpack it all. The premise, which has proven successful in past series, has Mercedes playing Fay, a recently divorced transplant to Los Angeles who becomes fast friends with the regulars at Eastside Cru. It is refreshing to see an Afro-Latina cast, whether she plays Latina or not. She joins the previously announced cast members <strong>Nicole Byer </strong>(<em>Tuca &amp; Bertie</em>)<strong>,</strong> <strong>Justin Cunningham</strong> (<em>When They See Us</em>), <strong>Aaron Jennings</strong> (<em>Stumptown</em>), <strong>Echo Kellum</strong> (<em>Arrow</em>) and <strong>Carl Tart</strong> (<em>Kenan</em>).  </p>

<p>In addition to Mercedes recently adding writing to her resume, during the pandemic she executive produced and wrote the podcast <em>Not (Blank) Enough </em>in which she hosted candid conversations with her guests about insecurities and triumphs related to feelings of &#8220;not-enoughness.&#8221; Season 2 was released in June of 2021.</p>


<p>Mercedes&nbsp;is a former improviser and sketch comedy actor and an alumna of both iO West and UCB. She is repped by CAA and Katie Newman at 3 Arts Entertainment</p>


<p><em>Grand Crew</em> is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Color television was an improvement on monochrome television, a 1926 invention by the Scottish engineer John Logie Baird. Called grayscale, Baird’s system became obsolete with the rapid evolution of other electronic systems in Great Britain and the United States.<br />
Color <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Color+Television&amp;ref=nb_sb_noss_2&amp;tag=Zenger-20">television</a> worked by diffusing three black-and-white images to each of the three primary colors of light: red, green and blue (RBG). When brought together at a sequential speed, the images intermingled, producing a full-color image, which viewers see from their home.</p>

<p>The person responsible for this idea was the Mexican engineer and researcher <a href="http://www.explorandomexico.com/about-mexico/5/135">Guillermo González Camarena</a>, who called his invention STSC (Trichromatic Sequential Field System, by its initials in Spanish) in 1940. The United States granted him the patent in September 1942.<br />

<p>“As a teenager, he built a radio transmitter,” said Porfirio Rosas, an engineer and former professor at the Universidad Veracruzana. “He visited Tepito and La Lagunilla [flea markets in Mexico City.] Where others saw garbage, he found pieces for his inventions. We know that he was a radio operator and that his engineering studies sparked his interest in television, which was a novelty at the time.”<br />
Peter Carl Goldmark, a Hungarian inventor working for the Columbia Broadcasting System, applied for a patent for his television system on September 7, 1942, but it was not granted until August 1949.<br />

The Omni Cultural TV Fest, all-day event on Tuesday, December 8, 2020, is a unique platform for independent producers of all cultures worldwide to showcase new ideas for television and over-the-top (OTT) platforms, offering content creators the opportunity of presenting their original work in front of legitimate buyers.</p>

<p>OCTVF co-founders <strong>Kiki Melendez</strong> and <strong>Cindy Cowan</strong> pivoted to online as production and special events came to an abrupt halt this year due to COVID-19. The innovative OCTF team found a way to execute this year’s festival using an interactive and animated virtual platform The Omni Cultural TV Fest is designed to connect independent producers, creators, and talent through innovative networking activities and panels and the screening of their projects to content buyers.</p>


<p>This year’s OCTVF will build on the success of the 2019 inaugural event at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood which attracted over 2K attendees. For this year’s edition, Omni Cultural TV Fest has joined forces with Southern California’s nonprofit organization S.T.R.E.A.M. Global Innovations, creators of the “virtual world” platform that will allow content to be streamed live offering interactive access to all festival guests.&nbsp;</p>


<p>Last year&#8217;s OCTVF festival was instrumental in getting five projects distributed through ShortsTV,&nbsp; a distribution deal for our comedy special winner from Comedy Dynamics, a movie deal with &nbsp;Maverick Entertainment, and pitch meetings with GRB, Disney, and All 3 Media, and requests to view participants’ content from prominent networks and studios.</p>

<p>Attendees will participate in the 2020 Omni Cultural TV Fest from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Using their computer or smart device, they will create their avatar to “walk” through the sponsor expo, attend panel discussions and screenings and award shows, and even dance at the after party. Guests will be able to ask questions, talk to one another, set up private meetings and networking as if they were at the live festival. They will also get the latest intel on technology and production trends.</p>


<p>“We are excited to partner with S.T.R.E.A.M. Global on this year’s festival. First, we are supporting a nonprofit that promotes youth empowerment in technology, and second, we are offering our attendees a superior networking experience,” said Melendez, Omni Cultural TV Founder and CEO of Latin Hollywood Films.&nbsp;</p>


<p>“I am so eager to execute this year’s Omni Cultural TV Fest! Our selections are superb, and we are doing something completely unique and positive for our creative community around the world. This will be a must-attend event,” said Festival Director and CEO of Anannke Entertainment, <strong>Elvia Barboa</strong>.</p>


<p>This year’s panels will be programmed by veteran executive <strong>Jenean Atwood Baynes</strong> and will include: Writing for Television, Perfecting the Pitch, Directing, New Media, Worldwide Distribution, Capturing the Latino Market, Surviving COVID in Hollywood and Celebrating Diversity with today’s top entertainment movers, shakers and change agents. The line-up is impressive with professionals from the industry’s ecosystem participating on panels and some serving as judges on our Blue-Ribbon panel.</p>

<p>The post <a href="https://latinheat.com/speaking-up-for-a-multi-colored-media/">House Judiciary Hearing:  Speaking Up For Multi-Colored Media</a> first appeared on <a href="https://latinheat.com"></a>.</p>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, September 24th, the House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing at 2:30PM ET on <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/calendar/eventsingle.aspx?EventID=3354" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diversity in America: The Representation of People of Color in the Media</a> examining the lack of diversity in the media, with a focus on the film industry. The hearing which was long sought by Leaders of the Congressional Tri-Caucus led by Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Rep. <strong>Joaquin Castro</strong> (TX-20), Congressional Black Caucus Chair Rep. <strong>Karen Bass</strong> (CA-37), and Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus Chair Rep.<strong> Judy Chu </strong>(CA-27) will be broadcasted live on the House Judiciary Committee’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs_gC13RLI8&amp;feature=youtu.be" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>YouTube channel</strong></a>.</p>


<p>Chairman Castro recently published an op-ed in&nbsp;<a href="https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/joaquin-castro-hollywood-latinos-1234737915/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Variety</em></a>&nbsp;on why Latino representation matters and the case for government intervention in the industry. This hearing would not be possible without the support of the Congressional Black Caucus and Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus. We hope this is the first hearing of many on the issue of diversity in media and entertainment.</p>


<p>The hearing is open to the public and can be viewed <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/calendar/eventsingle.aspx?EventID=3354">HERE</a> </p>


<p>Established in 1813, the House Judiciary Committee is the second oldest standing committee in Congress. Today, the Committee is at the forefront of some of the most significant issues facing our nation, including protecting Constitutional freedoms and civil liberties, oversight of the U.S. Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, legal and regulatory reform, innovation, competition and anti-trust laws, terrorism and crime, and immigration reform. The Committee has jurisdiction over all proposed amendments to the Constitution, and each of its subcommittees has roots in that document. The House Judiciary Committee usually sends the greatest number of substantive bills to the House floor e<strong>ach year.</strong></p>


<p>“The media and Hollywood are the narrative-creating and image-defining institutions of American culture, yet for far too long Latinos have been hardly represented, and often depicted as stereotypes. This erasure has a high cost: today there is dangerous nexus between the racist political rhetoric and the images that people see on their screens of Latinos as criminals and as threats to society,” <strong>said Chairman Joaquin Castro, Congressional Hispanic Caucus.</strong>  “I appreciate Chairman Nadler and the House Judiciary Committee for holding this important hearing, especially during Hispanic Heritage Month. “Diversity and representation are not just about jobs, but also shape the perception of our communities.&#8221;</p>
