Check out a video I shot and edited while working at Big Think below. "The political climate of Donald Trump and Black Lives Matter, actor and writer John Leguizamo argues that giving minority actors the opportunity to tell minority stories will translate to change for the individual and bridge social divides. Leguizamo was promoting the movie 'The Infiltrator'." – BT
"In addition to screenings, LFM will host a series of panels, workshops, and lectures in acting and casting, writing, pre-production, production, art direction, camera and lighting, wardrobe, sound mixing, and hair and make-up. All open to the public. This event is in collaboration with La Casa de la Herencia Cultural Puertorriqueña, a 37-year old, nonprofit, cultural organization." – LFM
