CHIt was an amazing day with fellow creatives and friends! It was a beautiful surprise to have my actor @rloya1 twin brother George attend the screening and stand in for his brother Ralph. ♥️ I'm also grateful my lead actress Graciela was able to make it as well. One day, I hope I can see it with my whole cast and crew.
Special shout out to Jen for joining me on this fun adventure this weekend. 😘

SUBMISSION FOR The 4th edition of the Mexican-American Film and Television Festival & Awards are now open. Filmmakers of shorts, features, documentaries and TV projects are encouraged to submit. 🎬🎬🎬🎬.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: January 15th, 2025.
MAFTF is more than just the premier festival representing the 40 million Americans of Mexican descent; it’s a two-day celebration of culture and artists. It’s where Mexican-American and Latino film & television makers come together to interact, collaborate, network, and find like-minded partners. It’s a platform where industry leaders connect with authentic storytellers.
The two day festival will be held on April 19th and 20th, 2025, presented by the Mexican-American Cultural Education Foundation (MACEF), a 501(c)3 at the Harmony Gold Theater in Los Angeles.
Submission Requirements:
• Applicants can be of any background, but the production team must include at least one producer, writer, or director, and one lead actor who identifies as Mexican-American or Chicanx of any generation or mixed ethnicity.
• Films or TV shows must be the original work of the applicants, and must not be in distribution.
• Projects will be assessed for overall quality, and the quality of the story, which must be culturally positive, non-stereotypical. Stories depicting Mexican-Americans as successful, valuable members of American society will receive priority.
• Films and TV shows must be submitted by January 15th, 2025. A digital link to the finished film or TV Pilot is required.
• Applicants are responsible for obtaining all necessary rights to third-party materials included in their films including but not limited to trademarks, copyrights, and music. MACEF is not liable for any violations of permissions.

"In a film festival landscape increasingly hungry for diversity yet still falling short in its representation of Latino voices, the Mexican American Film & Television Festival and Awards (MAFTF) is emerging as a powerful and necessary force. Now in its fourth year, this groundbreaking festival is the only one in the United States focused on turning a spotlight on the Mexican-American filmmaker —a group that, despite being the largest and most economically powerful Latino demographic, remains the most stereotyped and underrepresented in American media."

MASunday brought an extra surprise for @minivelatv !
Today, we’re honored to share that “El Clavito” has officially joined the prestigious lineup of the 2026 Mexican-American Film & Television Festival (MAFTF), alongside our Illustrious Awards finalist for Best #MicroDrama, “Cholita Takes L.A.” 🎬✨
Minivela’s growing and maturing productions are the result of cultivating strong partnerships and building our pioneering company coast to coast with dozens of talented actors, producers, and collaborators. Seeing “El Clavito” selected for what is now its fourth film festival validates our collaborative approach to investments and co-productions—an approach that will go into overdrive in the weeks and months ahead.
To our incredible cast and team, and to our “El Clavito” co-producers at CSP Media Group—congratulations to everyone involved!
MAFTF takes place April 25–26 in Los Angeles, and it’s already shaping up to be a very exciting 2026.
