After watching the film, Mosquita y Mari, I was curious in reading about the filmmaker’s inspiration. I found the article called, Aurora Guerrero on Making Mosquita y Mari & Challenging Hollywood’s Lack of Diverse Stories where Aurora Guerrero is the filmmaker. In her film, she explores Latina sexuality through the unique feelings two Latina girls encounter. As I was reading more about Aurora’s thoughts on Hollywood it was interesting to read how she describes growing up and not seeing films on Latinos. In addition, she shared about her challenges not seeing Latinos as role models, ”It’s hard to grow up and not see yourself portrayed in realistic ways on film. From a young age I was really bothered by that. When I did see a film about Latinos I didn’t recognize my experience at all. I actually wondered if those type of Latinos really existed because I didn’t know anyone like that”. Finally, I believe that Aurora’s film Mosquita y Mari proves how there needs to be more Latina/os in the film industry .
