The Boyle Heights Latina Independent Film Extravaganza

Taking place December 11 - 13, 2009

"BHLIFE is a festival that features the creative work of Latina film directors from all across the country. An event dedicated to the ongoing effort to present the complexities of our community and the women within it, and break away from the historically negative and stereotypical images of Latinas in film. A festival such as BHLIFE creates a challenge to the inequity seen in front and behind the lens."

Marbella International Film Festival!!!

"We are pleased to inform you that your film has been approved to be screened at Marbella International Film Festival.

Over 600 films from 50 countries were submitted for the preliminary stage of this festival.

These films are presenting some of the best independent productions, by talented film makers from all over the world. Judges had some very difficult decisions to make while reducing the number of such high calibre applicants to only 40 or so films to be awarded the screening status at the festival.

So you must feel very proud, that you work has been recognised among the very best to appear at the finals of this prestigious international film festival, we thus, congratulate you for your efforts, and wish you success."
