If your film is in English, it makes it that much easier to get a wide release.

I've always seen movies in English with Spanish subtitles. For audiences around the world, the language is less important than if it's a good film.

I do find that it's easier to get Latino-themed movies... but I don't think there's that stigma anymore. I think that what's harder is to be a woman, not to be a Latina.

I have a handicap in that English is not my first language. So even though I'm a writer, I don't write anymore because it's just harder in English.

I finally, you know, moved to Mexico City, where the film industry is. I started working there as a producer, which is a very, very valid thing for women to do, because we always produce for men, right?

Every single line, every single thing has to be fought over. There's kind of like an intrinsic doubt from absolutely everyone in my crew, my producer, everyone. It's not just the film industry - it's a worldwide thing. It's the culture of the world to doubt women.
