America Ferrera's Charity Work

Latino Stars Gather For Independent Producers Conference

March 11, 2008

On Friday March 7, 2008, the ninth annual National Association of Latino Independent Producers Conference took place at Dana Point, California. Producers, directors, and celebrities attended to show their support for the event. NALIP’s major sponsor for the event was HBO, which provided many of its industry executives to share their wisdom with NALIP’s members and conference attendees. Various films were shown throughout the weekend, including La Misma Luna, soon to be released nationally. The story centers round a young Mexican boy who crosses the Mexican/US border to reunite with his mother after his grandmother passes. Ugly Betty’s America Ferrera can be seen briefly in the film. Smaller scale but critically acclaimed films were also shown during the course of the weekend. »
