Calixto Chinchilla & Manny Pérez: Lights, Camera, Cultura!

In this episode, Honey German sits down with Calixto Chinchilla, founder and executive producer of the New York Latino Film Festival, to talk about how he brought the nation’s premier Latino film festival to life and what it means for our culture today.  Joining the convo is acclaimed actor Manny Perez, who has two films screening at this year’s festival: 'A Tiro Limpio' & 'Tiguere' both shot in DR. Together, we dive deep into the world of Latino cinema from creating spaces that elevate our stories to the importance of showing up and supporting movies made for us, by us. From behind-the-scenes hustle to the joy of seeing ourselves on the big screen, this episode is all about celebrating Latino creatives and shifting the way we think about film. 🎬✨ Cop your tix to the NYLFF here: nylatinofilmfestival.com/2025/🗽🔥See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
