Life is rarely neat. It’s full of joyful chatter, stories shared over couches and dinner tables, painful moments, and the love that holds us all together despite it all. Endless Cookie is a Sundance documentary by Canadian filmmakers and half-brothers Pete and Seth Scriver that proves that point. It stands apart from other documentaries in its bold animated style and its commitment to an almost stream-of-consciousness narrative.

How do young men deal with the ground beneath their feet opening up – with their world changing? Those are the well-defined and deeply felt stakes in Sundance’s Mad Bills to Pay: (or Destiny, dile que no soy malo). It’s an intimate coming-of-age film that follows Rico (Juan Collado), a 19-year-old who’s in over his head when his pregnant 16-year-old girlfriend, Destiny (Destiny Checo), comes to stay with his mom and sister over the summer.

Every Venezuelan, inside and outside the country, keeps latent wounds. They are not visible to everyone, but instead, often remain buried methods of survival. The new film Simón makes us notice them, knowing that on this occasion, reality is as crude as fiction. “I want the rest of the world, not just Venezuelans, to connect with the movie, to make it as personal and individual as possible.

Alright, picture this – comedy and sensitivity doing a constant cha-cha, where what cracked us up yesterday is stepping on toes today. USC Dornsife’s Lanita Jacobs, associate professor of American studies and ethnicity and anthropology, wisely notes, “the jokes that once had us in stitches a decade ago might not elicit the same laughter today.” In the audience of comedy clubs, we’re on a journey where the punchlines of yesteryear fall flat in the evolving landscape of societal change.

We need to talk about something serious. Something that hits right to the corazon. They went and canceled Dolores Roach on Amazon Prime Video. Cue novela-style dramatic gasp. ¡No puede ser! I’m here to channel our collective frustration and lament the fact that once again, a Latiné gem got tossed aside after just one season.
