Hollywood should be paying attention to an audience that accounts for $1.7 trillion in consumer spending. That audience also happens to be some of the 60 million Latinos living in the United States but they only represent 4.5% of the actors we see in Hollywood films. Why is this the case? I spoke to Cristina Nava and Patrick Perez, husband and wife filmmaker duo, to find out. Support Cristina and Patrick's work by following them on instagram @iamcristinanava and @patperezworld.  In Other Words movie - Instagram: @inotherwordsmovie and Facebook: @ inotherwordsfilm.  Groups and organizations mentioned during the episode: NALIP, Latino Reel, Latino Filmmakers Network and the Sundance Institute Feature Film Program.
