For its sixth year, Tomorrow’s Filmmaker Today has selected a group of emerging U.S.-based filmmakers with a wide range of Latin American roots for an immersive, 9-day in-person program that seeks to elevate Latino representation within the film & television industry. The following Hola Mexico Film Festival Short-Selection will be presented before the feature films. The quality and array of stories showcased here are a testament to a prominent future for all Latino talent across the border. This year HMFF is welcoming TFT alumni work and congratulates all TFT’21 participants.
