HOLA Member Bochinche


* Bochinche refers to "gossip." In this sense, we use it to mention HOLA members who are getting acting gigs.

--Gilbert Cruz booked a bilingual educational film for the NYC Health Department regarding HIV and AIDS.

--Reina nabbed a role in the docudrama Comprometidos by Amala Lane of Hummingbird Films. She also booked work as a voiceover artist through the Language Institute.


These actors received work when casting directors noticed their headshots and resumes on the HOLA website.
