.) “My movie wasn’t low budget by any means — it wasn’t $100 million, but it wasn’t $2 million. When was the last Latina-directed studio film? It was like 20 years ago. We can’t get a movie every 20 years.”According to Longoria, the uneven distribution of the metaphorical industry apple has less to do with how many talented Latina directors are out there than with an industry standard that continually favors white men.

“The problem is if this movie fails, people go, ‘Oh Latino stories don’t work…female directors really don’t cut it.’ We don’t get a lot of at-bats.
