Members' Work

When you are in the screen industry, you are looking for one of two things: proper connections or mentors to help showcase your work or you are looking for talent to mentor and projects to showcase. NALIP works to be a liaison for both those needs. Part of NALIP’s Mission is to ensure that those who have cultivated great stories that elevate the Latinx experience are being seen. Below you will find curated works made by emerging Latinx artists in our membership. 

If you are interested in finding out how to be displayed in our members' work keep an eye out for our Latino Lens Programs.
