MACRI Summer Film Series: Teen Film Workshop

MACRI is sponsoring a FREE community youth film education session featuring filmmaker ESMERALDA HERNANDEZ as part of our Summer Film Series.

Esmeralda Hernandez is a Tejana filmmaker from San Antonio, Texas. Her work explores the American experience and other worlds through the lens of Latina protagonists and underrepresented voices. She graduated from the Radio-Television-Film program at The University of Texas at Austin in 2019. Her thesis film Cake had a successful festival run, winning the jury prize for Best College Filmmaker at the San Antonio Film Festival. Her latest film Dream Carriers premiered at the 2022 San Francisco International Film Festival and recently won the Texas Archive Moving Image jury prize for Best Hecho en Tejas Film at Cine Las Americas International Film Festival.

Special thanks to our program partners MonteVideo and the San Antonio Department of Parks & Recreation! This FREE program was made possible with support from the City of San Antonio Department of Arts and Culture, Bexar County, the Mellon Foundation, and individual donors.
