About me

I’m a TV development executive recently turned indie film producer who is always organizing and curating events and connecting people.  I spent over a decade screening hundreds of independent films, focusing on Spanish language and U.S. Latino as a programming associate for film festivals like Sundance, Los Angeles Film Festival, San Antonio’s CineFestival, Morelia Film Festival and the Curacao International Film Festival Rotterdam.

    Christina:

    I really dig your site – good stuff! (I’d like to know more about your work as a film programmer)

    I came across your ‘TALENTO’ link via NALIP.org and tweeted it a few days ago – not sure I you recall.

    My name’s Lee and I write for two sites. For one of them, I’m a staff writer, movie reviewer and marketing coordinator. It’s a Latino-based entertainment site based out of NYC. (The other is more of a contribution, and it’s on general entertainment, but movies is where I’m heavy on.)

    Hope this note finds you and your loved ones well – keep in touch!

    All the best,
    Lee (My Latin roots are Puerto Rican/Colombian – born and raised in NYC)

    Hola Crisitina!
    It was a real pleasure to hear your opinion at the afci -you’re great!- and then meeting you at the LAFF. Un orgullo tener a una persona tan talentosa como tu con raices latinas! 😉

    Christina,
    I am loving your blog. I am working with SF Noir Films in San Francisco on their film The Other Barrio, currently in production. It stars Richard Montoya and is based on a short story by SF Poet Laureate Alejandro Murguia.. We are hoping that you can share our Indiegogo campaign with your followers. We need completion funds for the production. You can check us out on facebook at http://on.fb.me/ZANcSp or at our Indiegogo site at http://bit.ly/IndiegogoTOB. I can be contacted at TheOtherBarrio@gmail.com.
    Hopefully, with your help we can make a magical movie.

    Hi, Christine. I would love to chat with you about helping find some films by Hispanic and Latino filmmakers for a new fest coming up in April. If I could chat with you in more detail I would greatly appreciate it!
