Latina Filmmaker, Chloe Caudillo, joins us this week for an amazing, uplifting episode of going after your dream and loving every step along the way.

Chloe shares how the difficulty of not fitting in completely to either culture, her Mexican heritage or American society, led to her vibrant, unique Sci-Fi storytelling, honed on expressing how she felt as a child through stories and art.

Her love of storytelling kept encouraging Chloe to take chances on herself and discovering the communities that supported her vision, nurturing lifelong friendships and ultimately, a chance at the Big Screen. 

‘Development’ is the story of a First Gen Latina striving to make it in corporate America only to realize she has to become a clone of a privileged nepo baby. Sound familiar? The movie takes on many of Chloe’s own experiences, even using her real parents names for the lead roles filled by epic stars, Haskiri Velazquez and Sal Lopez. Chloe draws on her own friendships to ensure full representation for the hard of hearing community, creating a role specifically for actress,

Even after this big win, Chloe stays true to herself with her mantra, “let go of what it looks like, or what it’s supposed to look like or what it’s supposed to be and just be present in your life and on your path”.

We can’t wait to see more of what Chloe Caudillo has in store for us movie goers! Remember it’s up to us, the audience, to support the Latine creatives and their teams if we want full representation on the Big Screen. 

So get your snacks ready and slide into your cozy seat to cheer on this amazing mujer, Chloe Caudillo, in her story of self discovery, empowerment and the success that came from sharing her most authentic self.
