I left journalism 8 months ago & am sad about the state of film & TV criticism. Most of the writers I commissioned for stories are freelancers struggling to get pitches accepted & struggling even harder to pay the bills.
Some of my fave stories I edited over the last 6 yrs

Back in 2015, @mcastimovies & I traveled together to Baja California for @CaboFilmFest. She pitched this thoughtful piece about masculinity on screen.

In 2017, I sat next to @Carlos_Film while we watched the & #39;Beatriz at Dinner& #39; premiere at @sundancefest. As soon as the movie was over, he went home and starting writing a powerful piece that we would publish a few months later for the theatrical release. https://remezcla.com/features/film/beatriz-at-dinner-salma-hayek-op-ed/">https://remezcla.com/features/...
In 2017, @cinesnobkiko tracked down the actress who J.Lo beat out for the lead role in Selena. It was a story that hadn& #39;t been told and he helped her share what could have been. https://remezcla.com/features/film/meet-danielle-camastra-woman-almost-played-selena-quintanilla/">https://remezcla.com/features/...
In 2017, @bmanuel & I went to @CaboFilmFest & took advantage that Coco was in Mexican theaters (a month before the US) We saw the Spanish-language version &he wrote this lovely review: Why the Spanish Dub of Pixarâs âCocoâ Is Even Better Than the Original https://remezcla.com/features/film/spanish-dub-pixar-coco-dia-muertos/">https://remezcla.com/features/...
One of the most far-reaching stories that I came up with turned into a format that we repeated often. It was born out of the desire to fill a hole in criticism and to uplift the voice of Latino critics. https://remezcla.com/lists/film/latino-film-critics-review-pixar-coco/">https://remezcla.com/lists/fil...
