“For me becoming a filmmaker was about taking back my voice - crafting stories that would move away from the problematic narratives that the studio system would put out about Latinos. I think this is why people like my films. They're refreshing. They feel more real.” PeopleThinkingFeelsRealStoriesFilmMovingVoiceBecomingStudiosNarrativeFilmmakerLatinoRefreshing Author:Aurora Guerrero
“As for major obstacles keeping young Latinos from becoming filmmakers, I think our communities are still coming into their identities as storytellers. It's such an important identity to reclaim - it's how our ancestors kept our cultures alive. But a long history of silencing, invisibility, and marginalization has kept generations of Latinos from believing in themselves, from seeing themselves as agents of their own lives. I think there needs to be a focus on this aspect to help cultivate young Latinas to see themselves as cultural producers and defenders.” ThinkingNeedsBelieveLongStillsImportantHelpingYoungCultureCommunityFocusAliveSeeingGenerationsIdentityBecomingMajorsAspectObstaclesProducersAgentsFilmmakerAncestorStorytellerLatinoOur CommunityDefendersInvisibilityLatinaMarginalizationSilencing Author:Aurora Guerrero
