How to Watch Disney’s Short Film Collaboration That Honors Hispanic and Latin American Culture!
If you want to celebrate various cultures, Disney will help you do that!
Around the parks, Disney hosts Celebrate Soulfully, as well as festivities for Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month and Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. But that’s not all–Disney also partnered with the award-winning nonprofit, Ghetto Film School, to create a short film that honors Hispanic and Latin American culture!
Yo Recuerdo/I Remember
Disney commissioned Ghetto Film School alumni to help create the short film, Yo Recuerdo/I Remember. The four alumni helped create this project, which Disney shared “weaves together four personal vignettes into a premium short film that reimagines core memories and connects them to their heritage.” Take a look at the teaser for the project.
The short film starts streaming today, exclusively on Hulu. It will also be shared on other platforms like ABC, ABC News, FX, Freeform, National Geographic, and Onyx Collective. On Saturday, September 15, and Sunday, October 15, it will also air on ABC-owned television stations.
Background
This short film builds upon the multiyear collaboration of Disney and Ghetto Film School. The four alumni filmmakers are Alyse Arteaga, Kian Cloma, Alejandro Enrique, and Tommy Espinal. Disney provided the necessary production resources, including video equipment, graphic designers, and editing bay access. Disney Entertainment Television also paired the young filmmakers with mentors, to help them execute their visions.
This collaboration is part of Disney’s dedication to empowering and growing the next generation. Disney hosts educational programs, scholarships, mentoring, and technical skill-building to assist underrepresented youth in accessing careers in storytelling and innovation.
We’re excited to see this short film, and hope to see more collaborations like this in the future! And we’ll keep you updated with the latest happening with Disney media, so stay tuned to MickeyBlog.com.
