Short Documentary on being Latinx in Hollywood | Bad Hombrewood - by Guillermo Casarín

Guillermo Casarin, an aspiring young filmmaker, came to the United States from Mexico to pursue his dreams of becoming a film director. Now, he is on the verge of graduating from one of the best film schools in the world, but after experiencing racism in the country and film industry, he finds himself questioning his place in Hollywood. He embarks on a quest to answer that very question, "Do I have a place in Hollywood?"

Through compelling interviews and archival footage, Bad Hombrewood reveals the dark side of Hollywood's history, the war stories of casting, and the challenges each filmmaker encounters while trying to succeed in the entertainment industry. The film features film scholars, activists, and an impressive lineup of emerging filmmakers whose backgrounds and identities exemplify the beauty and diversity of the Latinx community, alongside world-renowned filmmakers such as Academy Award-winning directors Phil Lord, Guillermo Del Toro, and Lee Unkrich, and actress Melissa Fumero from the Golden Globe-winning show Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

What started out as a journey to answer the question "Do I have a place?" turns into a community of Latinx filmmakers and allies coming together and answering the question, "How can we create a place for us in Hollywood?"
