About this submission

Since emigrating from Mexico to the U.S.A. at the age of seven, I have noticed an inaccurate representation of diversity in the film industry. I came to realize that I want to create unique stories that accurately represent the younger generation of Latinos in the U.S., and their struggles through todays world with a multi-cultural conflict. This film is about an uneasy teenage girl who struggles with anorexia in a Hispanic household. I hope that parents can take a moment to think about their relationship with their children to better understand if they are suffering from a mental health disorder.
