ÉXITO: From Latin America to New York
Many
agree that the road from Latin America to New York is not easy sailing,
but with a strategic path followed the rewards are rich. We feature two
of our Latin American-born filmmakers who have seen their feature films
premiere at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival (only five Latin American
films out of 89 features) and the New York International Latino Film
Festival. Hear how one casts, directs and negotiates with actors and how
another found his documentary subject by taking a risk on an upcoming
sports figure, following him over three continents to win a boxing
championship. Listen to their specific journey, focused path and how
they succeed in narrative and documentary filmmaking. Join us and be
part of this movement!6-8pm: Networking
