A new independent film aims to make its mark with audiences as the first Latino superhero picture with an all-Hispanic cast.
“Nobody is ready for change — until change is presented,” said Forte, who plays the mother of the title character. “Don’t listen to the naysayers who tell you what is not possible. I know what is possible.”
In her 30 years as a professional actress, Forte has seen roles for Hispanics become more dimensional. She pointed to Latinas like America Ferrera, Jennifer Lopez and who are not only performers but producers as well. And as more Hispanics become content creators, Forte explained, more opportunities for Latinos will likely follow.“Nobody is giving us a break," she said."We all have experience and training. Nothing is being handed to us.”
Mainstream audiences are ready for a movie with an all-Latino cast, Forte added. “I hope that audiences see that our Latino stories, our Hispanic stories, are universal stories. … It is OK to be different, but the challenge in storytelling is finding where we are all the same.”
