THE PURPOSE
Mestizo is a production Group, dedicated to the telling of real stories, loves and struggles, of the Latin American people in the United States. Our aim is to bring to the screen the untold stories of our contemporary working-class heroes and heroines, the many lives and faces, that identify the diverse, multicultural life, of the average Latin American in the United States. Beyond the stereotypes of gangster and "homeboy", gardner, housemaid or "wet back," Mestizo Productions works to show the real people and spirit behind the conventional masks of our social identities. Every artist plays a unique part in the creative process. Mestizo is created by Artists who love and have passion for their art and are interested in searching, creating and capturing through their art; the way human beings behave, interact, love and struggle with one another. We are Artists who are willing to push ourselves to our creative limits for the love of the Art, regardless of fame or money. Art is our prime mover, the driving spirit of creation and the final destination that brings us home at last.

“Cada cabeza es su propio mundo. Every head is their own world, the world that their life has created through circumstances and choices of their own. Everyday we battle our inner demons; it is up to the individual to find his or her own answers for their situations. The goal is to extract those moments is that person’s life that are going to make us ask more questions about his or her search in order to find their own convictions”.
