Now that being said, I'm not saying it has been easy for the filmmakers I've listed. It was DAMN HARD! Things are changing but very slowly. I've never allowed being latino stop me from creating my own opportunities. Indie Filmmakers have to create their own opportunities and stop waiting around for "Hollywood" to give it to them. I hope this episode inspires filmmakers to go out and make it happen...no matter what!
Keep hustlin' my friends!
