Season 2 of Lights, Camera, Latino! is officially here, and we are starting with something special. 🎄

Host Angel Fabián Rivera sits down with writer and director Hector Barron (@joyofchristmasmovie) to talk about Joy of Christmas, an independent, Latino-led family holiday film starring Jesse Garcia (Flamin' Hot, The Odyssey), Diane Guerrero (Orange Is the New Black, Encanto) and Emilio Rivera (Sons of Anarchy, Mayans M.C.).

We dive into Hector's journey as a creator, what it took to build an indie Latino film with a cast and crew of this caliber, and why bringing a Latino story to the holiday genre matters more than ever.

Joy of Christmas is currently in post-production with distribution coming soon.

Follow the film at @joyofchristmasmovie for updates.
