Committed to championing great storytelling, the National Association of Latino Independent Producers (NALIP) is holding its second annual Latino Media Fest. The Los Angeles event will play host to a number of on-screen stories, including virtual or augmented reality projects, narrative shorts, documentary shorts, digital web series, and television pilots. The projects being screened are as diverse as you’d expect. You’ll find animated flicks like the aptly-titled The Velvet Underground Played at My High School, button-pushing Cuban-set shorts like Claudia Murray’s Gringa, queer shorts that promise more gore than usual (Narration of your Death), and even a fake doc sketch series about Latino sayings called, well, Dichos.
