How do you feel celebrating the Latino community?
00:06
I enjoy celebrating the Latino community every day, but when you have an organization like
00:11
Nalip that started with 13 humans that just decided to make breaking boundaries their
00:18
mission, still here this much bigger 25 years later, it's a big deal.
00:23
So I'm here to amplify that, help amplify that, see where the torch is being passed
00:28
so we can pick it up and keep it going.
00:31
Tell me about your next project.
00:33
My next project, let's see, well I just finished shooting a pilot with Ty Burrell and ABC,
00:40
multi-cam directed by the greatest of all time, James Burroughs, and Christopher Lloyd
00:47
from the Modern Family pedigree, and we just did this multi-cam that hopefully will get
00:53
picked up and keep going.
00:55
So just finished that, and then of course in this last year I launched, I'm the co-founder
00:59
of Latinas Acting Up with Lisa Vidal, and we see the changes that are needed in our
01:06
community of Latinas in the industry, in front of and behind the camera, so we're going to
01:10
continue to build that platform.
01:12
Any fun plans for summer?
01:15
Oh my gosh, this summer.
01:18
So much is happening with Latinas Acting Up that it's become my second full-time job,
01:23
and there's a lot of planning, but I'll tell you what, I am having a birthday this summer
01:27
and I decided to go big, like Studio 54 big, minus the debauchery.
01:36
We'll keep it PG.
01:37
We'll keep it PG.
01:38
So I'm going to do that.
01:39
That's a big plan this summer.
01:40
I mean, we have an event going, and I'm scared to do it, but everyone's like, do it.
01:46
Celebrate yourself.
01:47
So I'm going to do that.
01:48
Why Hollywood needs more Latinos?
01:52
Because we are a majority.
01:54
We are a representative majority in this country, on this planet.
01:59
We have talent.
02:01
We have beautiful stories to tell.
02:03
We're not here just to tell the stories that are ours.
02:08
We're artists.
02:09
We're creatives.
02:10
We're actors, writers, directors, performers, so we want to tell all the stories.
02:14
It's like I say, I'm joking, but I'm not.
02:16
I want to be a zombie.
02:17
I've never been a zombie, but I would like to play a zombie.
02:19
I want to be on a sword.
02:21
I'm a horse with a sword and armor.
02:23
I have never been on, but I want to do it.
02:25
That's why it's creative.
02:26
We want to dive into those imaginary worlds.
02:28
There is a range, a wide range of talent in the Latino community that they haven't tapped
02:33
into yet.
02:34
And then on top of all that, we are filled with unbelievable stories of heroes, of characters,
02:40
delicious characters that the world isn't familiar with.
02:44
So we have lots to share.
02:46
Thank you so much.
02:48
Thank you.
02:49
Thank you for having me.
02:50
Happy birthday.
