At just 21 years old, precocious Mexican-American filmmaker Chris Carmona has already been on stage at an Oscars ceremony and made a feature-length movie
Back in 2015, he was the only Latino to be part of Team Oscar, an initiative created by the Academy that selects young filmmakers based on a submitted video to deliver Oscar statuettes to presenters during the telecast. Participating in this once in a lifetime opportunity further validated Carmona’s aspirations to write and direct his own work. Three years and multiple shorts later, his debut film Bad Labor is premiering at LALIFF (Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival) this week.
