“We are thrilled to introduce our fourth class of fellows who embody the incredible diversity and untapped potential within our community,” shared Edward James Olmos, Academy Award-nominated actor and founder of LFI. “This fellowship reinforces our commitment to fostering underrepresented storytellers, and we are immensely grateful for Netflix’s unwavering support in this mission.”

The LFI Inclusion Fellowship aims to amplify the voices of diverse and largely underrepresented Latino filmmakers and provide a platform for them to create and share stories that enrich the fabric of society, according to the release. Alumni of the program have gone on to produce feature films, secure representation and continue to other fellowships.

“Being part of the Inclusion Fellowship was an amazing step forward in my career,” said Jalmer Caceres, Alumni of the 2022/2023 Fellowship. “The program models the studio system and provides the guidance and creative mentorship needed for us to succeed. It also creates space for the historically underrepresented to access high-level resources and opportunities. It was an experience that I will always cherish and be grateful for.”

Completed films from current fellows will screen at the 2024 Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival held from May 29 to June 2, 2024.

Felix Martiz, TrendingAndres, disengaged and apathetic, spends his school days immersed in social media, disconnected from reality.

Instead of intervening, Andres documents the brutal altercation, capturing the harrowing event on his phone, revealing a stark reflection of his detachment from the world around him.

Gerardo Maravilla, Enseñame como morirFollowing her grandmother’s passing, a grieving Mexican-American woman becomes fixated on experiencing the sensation of death, convinced it will forge a profound connection with her departed grandma that eluded her in life.
