Chuy Treviño kindly accepted the invitation to share his life story. The interview is divided into three parts. In the first part of the interview, Mr. Treviño talks about being raised in East LA, his childhood, and how it was like to be a Mexican-American during the fifties and sixties. Also,  Mr. Treviño talks about how he hated himself in junior high for being Mexican American and how the Chicano movement helped him understand that he was in denial of who he was. He concludes this part of the interview by sharing his thoughts about the challenges that kids in East LA are facing today.

 

In the second part of the interview, Mr Treviño talks about how he was inspired to start making and directing movies, his works as a writer, producer, and director of non-fiction documentaries and fiction-dramas. He ends this part by talking about Latinos in Hollywood and his new arts, history and culture website LatinopiaUSA.com .

 

In the last part of the interview, Mr. Treviño gives a message for the Hispanic / Latino community of the Midwest and finish this interview by talking about his new documentary based on the Vision of Aztlán.

One Response to “A Director’s Journey From East LA to Hollywood”

  1. Kim Says:

    Fantastic Interview that is inspiring, enlightening and motivational! Mr. Trevino provides tips to everyday people on how to continue to move forward with individual ambitions. Understanding how and when to move forward with “Race,Cultural Presense and Cultural Experience”.
    After listening(3 x’s)to Mr. Trevino’s rise to success I could only feel his passion and pride of the moment. Struggling to be accepted is something that we Expats do on a regular basis outside the USA. It makes us more aware of others personal plights within the states when we are home. We have learned to be more available to foreign nationals and alike. Empathy and sympathy are common threads that we share with those of courageous hearts who seek to pursue a better life for themselves and their families.
    Thank You for this moving interview that I can easily access in Florence, Italy. So much of what Mr. Trevino talked about was absolutely encouraging. His words inspire me to march forward with my ambitions in another beautiful country and to never give up even when it’s difficult to see how obstacles can be stepping stones for individual growth.
    On a personal note, my children and speak in English in our home, however, they too desperately would like to be accepted by their italian schoolmates and are inspired to learn a second and now third language, Spanish. Their american names can be translated to italian and so they also answer to a name that I did not give them. Struggles can lead to small victories. Lastly, I seek out role models for my kids and I would like to thank Mr Trevino for being that role model for my children today and I thank him for sharing his story and his contributions to humanity.
