A tongue and cheek look at reverse discrimination for actors in Hollywood

Synopsis

Jezabel Montero takes you on a tongue in cheek journey, through the streets and offices of New York city, to ask the public and industry professionals, 'why don't we ever see a blonde, blue eyed, light Latino, playing Latino roles in mainstream film and tv? Why the cookie cutter Latino? What does the word Latino even mean, in Hollywood?" Ms. Montero gives some insight and humor to this secretly acceptable form of discrimination.

Director's Statement

People are vast, multifaceted and beautiful individuals and we must celebrate the variety that is our American culture. With this film, I hope to enlighten those who view Latinos as just 'one thing' and introduce them to a slice of the reverse discrimination that so often occurs within the entertainment industry, yet no one wishes to address. Knowledge and empowerment are the only tools with which we have to dispel stereotypes. Film is the venue and art form we utilize to sculpt and transmit our messages.
