Hard earned Hollywood lessons I discussed today at a cool directors round table for the @MovingImageNYC :
Love the process more than the result.
Power reveals self so act accordingly.
Adversity forms you so give them hell!

[Jorge R. Gutierrez @mexopolis]

My favorite thing about this is how involved the entire familia is with our new hero. And that cast!!!

[Jorge R. Gutierrez @mexopolis]

in Tijuana with my mother watching my beloved @RealGDT win a landmark Oscar for a @netflix film that has meant so much to him, our country and our entire art form is a memory I will never forget. VIVA EL MAESTRO! VIVA PINOCCHIO!! VIVA MEXICO!!!

It was an incredible honor to present Guillermo del Toro (@RealGDT) and Mark Gustafson the Best Animation Award for PINOCCHIO last night at the @lafilmcritics awards dinner. A highlight of my year for sure.

Hi friends! For the New York Times, I profiled Mexican actor Diego Calva who stars in BABYLON as Manny Torres. The piece has input from director Damien Chazelle, co-star Margot Robbie, and Mexican director Julio Hernández Cordón: https://t.co/Y0vR2UKRPq

For the New York Times I talked to Alfonso Cuarón, Guillermo del Toro (@RealGDT), and Alejandro González Iñárritu about working with one of Mexico’s greatest living actors, Daniel Giménez Cacho. So happy to be able to highlight such as wonderful career: https://t.co/f992U7Kxyr

[Carlos Aguilar @Carlos_Film]

Last night I moderated a Q&A with Alejandro González Iñárritu and the below the line team from BARDO, including production designer Eugenio Caballero. Always fascinating to learn about the technical challenges artists face to bring stories to life.

[Carlos Aguilar @Carlos_Film]

Finally got to write about GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S PINOCCHIO a movie that astounds in both its craftsmanship and how the physicality of its magic relates to its themes. I love this movie wholeheartedly. Here’s my review for @ebertvoices: https://t.co/7csnRVspvU

#DACA recipients from across the country are joining a fly-in in Washington D.C. today to meet with Members of Congress and urge them to pass permanent legislative protections for Dreamers before the end of the year in the lame duck session. We need urgent action now. #HomeIsHere

[Carlos Aguilar @Carlos_Film]

Sincere moment: some days I can’t believe the places this job has taken me, in part thanks to the contacts and connections I’ve made on here. Still undocumented or DACAmented, still working on my writing, but the last few years have been beyond what I could have ever envisioned.

“Las raíces nunca van a dejar de estar en México, es lo que hace este momento conmovedor y personal porque viene de una Universidad qué ha ido de la mano en la más profunda vida cultural en México”, comparte @RealGDT al recibir el Doctorado Honoris Causa de la @UNAM_MX ❤️

[FWD.us @FWDus]

“We can protect [Dreamers], and the same time strengthen border security. We can do both...We can get it done by the end of this year.” Thank you @SenCortezMasto for working to pass permanent protections for Dreamers and #DACA recipients this year. #HomeIsHere
