Welcome to
LatiFAM!
The Latine Film And Media Association's mission is to empower Latine filmmakers and those interested in Latine film and media.
Why We Exist
There is a need for Latine professionals in the film and media industries.
According to a 2019 study by USC Annenberg:
Across the 100 top grossing movies from 2007-2018, only 3% of films featured leads or co leads with Latino actors.
Only 3% of the casting directors across the sample of 1,200 films were Latino.
When a Latino director was attached to a film, the percentage of Latino characters on screen increased from 4% to 13%.
We're Here to Make A Difference
Latifam hosts events and biweekly meetings to promote community and pride. These include a mix of guest speakers, screenings, and workshops to help club members network and hone their craft.
