In Episode 20 of Lights, Camera, Latino, we sit down with the hilarious voices behind LATOONOS — the brand-new animated series about three Boricua adults navigating life in the Bronx during the 90s. We’re joined by the characters themselves: Papo, Flaco, and Hector, who crash the podcast with their signature back-and-forth banter.

This episode is packed with laughter, nostalgia, and behind-the-scenes stories about how this bold, irreverent, and proudly Latino show came to life. From catchphrases to cultural references, we get into all the fun details.

⚠️ Heads up: LATOONOS is not for kids — it’s animated but made for adult audiences.

In this special ATLFF 2025 edition of Lights, Camera, Latino!, host Angel Fabián Rivera sits down with director Miguel Ortiz (@28mmoz) and producer Elizabeth Alvarez (@e.lizzza.beth_a) to explore the making of Bloqué — a short film about a drummer struggling with a creative block, and the emotional depths that shape his artistic journey.

Together, we discuss how memory, vulnerability, and sound come together on screen, what it’s like to navigate the film festival circuit, and the importance of building space for Latinx creatives to tell deeply personal stories.

🎧 Tune in now and catch Bloqué at the Atlanta Film Festival 2025 — or follow the team online to see where it goes next.

In this special episode, I sit down with Sarah Schoellkopf, producer of the powerful documentary Norita, screening at the Atlanta Film Festival.

Norita (@noritathefilm) tells the story of Nora Cortiñas — a traditional housewife turned fearless human rights activist after the disappearance of her son during Argentina’s brutal dictatorship.

Directed by Andrea Testa and Jayson McNamara, and executive produced by the legendary Jane Fonda, this film is a moving portrait of resilience, motherhood, and the unstoppable fight for justice.

Sarah shares behind-the-scenes insights into capturing Norita’s journey, the personal connection the filmmakers have to the story, and why Nora’s message is more important now than ever.

Don’t miss this inspiring conversation about activism, memory, and hope!
