2008 Hispanic Heritage Month

Apropos of and in addition to the interview with Bernadette Rivero posted earlier today, this is a reminder that Sept. 15-Oct. 15th is Hispanic Heritage Month. Events, screenings and fun events can be found nationwide.

Here in Los Angeles, LALIFF (the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival) is Sept. 12-19th. Be sure to check it out.

If you live in the area and haven't been to Olvera Street, shame on you - go get some amazing food, see live dancing and take in the sights and sound of what is literally the birthplace of what is now the City of Los Angeles. You may even bump into the Wave-inatrix - I love Olvera Street and go there every year to get my sugar skulls for the Day of the Dead.

For film makers, if you aren't aware of NALIP (the National Association of Latino Independent Producers) now's the time to get acquainted with the resources available there.
