Having just taken the Audience Award at Laliff, Justice for My Sister was so compelling that I had to take action and so I interviewed the filmmaker Kimberly Bautista....
Kimberly Bautista's debut feature length documentary film, Justice for my Sister, received funding from the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, Latino Public Broadcasting, the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala, and the Dutch Embassy in Guatemala. Justice for my Sister's educational distribution is with New Day Films, and FilmOption International Inc represents its international sales. It has screened in over 150 communities in Guatemala with the help of the Guatemalan Justice for my Sister advocacy team. Kimberly launched a text message-based service in Guatemala to supplement the film and to connect audiences to resources, references, and counseling after community screenings. Her new media and outreach campaign received first prize in the Cuban Hat Transmedia Pitch at Sunny Side of the Doc in La Rochelle, France in June 2012. The film has won several accolades, including the HBO-nalip 2012 Documentary Filmmaker Award, the Camera Justitia Jury Prize at the 2013 Movies that Matter Festival in Holland, and the Ojo Latinoamericano Jury Prize at the 2013 International Human Rights Film Festival in Sucre, Bolivia. Most recently, it won the Prize for Best Documentary at the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival.
In June 2013, Kimberly spoke at the United Nations Office at Geneva, Switzerland on a panel about Violence Against Women & Girls in Latin America & the Caribbean, where she presented Justice for my Sister and the film's campaign. Kimberly is the recipient of the inaugural 2013 Young Alumni Achievement Award from her alma mater Pitzer College for Commitment to Promoting International Domestic Violence Prevention through the Use of Media. She received the prestigious 2012 Alumna of the Year Cornelian Award from Mayfield Senior School for exemplifying the school's motto, "Actions Not Words." She was the finalist for the 2013 Estela "Rising Star" Award for Documentary from Nalip for her work with Justice for my Sister.
In 2006, Kimberly founded and directed the Intercultural Web Exchange, a video pen-pal web program between young women in Quito, Ecuador and young Chicana women in Pomona, California. The project lasted for over three years and culminated in a college prep opportunity for the participants. In 2008, Kimberly filmed testimonies of Guatemalans who witnessed human rights violations; these videos were to be used as evidence of genocide to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights with prosecutors from Cal Berkeley and the Myrna Mack Foundation. She has since worked as a freelance field producer both in Latin America and California for clients in the non- profit sector (Hebrew Immigrant Aide Society, The Un Refugee Agency) and the corporate sector (Herbalife). She has also worked on films such as Patricia Cardoso's Lies in Plain Sight and Morgan Spurlock's Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope, and television programs on Latv and The Learning Channel. She wrote and directed two public service announcements that aired on Univision to encourage Latinos in the Los Angeles area to pursue a higher education.
Kimberly holds a Master's in Social Documentation from University of California, Santa Cruz for film production. In Spring 2013, she worked as a lecturer at California State University Monterey Bay in the Visual and Public Art Department. She acted as a jury member for the Connect the Docs transmedia pitch competition at the 2013 Hot Docs Conference & Forum in Toronto, Canada. She spoke on two panels--about investigative journalism & advocacy film, and women and girls in public media--at the International PUblic Television Screening Conference (Input) in El Salvador this May 2013.
Campaign
"We have established a campaign in Guatemala where we train young people in violence prevention, and they in turn facilitate workshops on healthy relationships with diverse audiences, from the National Civil Police, to indigenous communities, among others. We also have a service called texting peace, where our film advocates connects audiences to services and references via text messaging. We want to bring this documentary and campaign to all of Latin America. Our allies in the Dutch Embassy in Costa Rica have submitted our proposal to the Central American Integration System (Sica)."

For an actress who only recently turned 19, Daniela Bobadilla has been working with some very high-profile actors. She's currently appearing as Emma, the girlfriend of Detective Michael Britten's (Jason Isaacs) son, Rex (Dylan Minnette), on NBC's Thursday drama "Awake."
Then this June 28, she appears in the FX comedy "Anger Management" as the obsessive-compulsive daughter of Charlie (Charlie Sheen), a former minor-league baseball player with anger issues who goes back to school to become a therapist.
"They're both really giving," she says of Isaacs and Sheen. "They're both very selfless in the way they work. It's all about the other person, which, in turn, makes the other person better as well.
"But they're both extremely giving. They're both very present. They're both always there, and they're both incredibly professional, always on time, always ready and always wanting to have a good time. They're not like, 'Don't talk to me, I'm in my scene,...

Exclusive: Fox has signed talent holding deals with Mexican actors Martha Higareda and Adan Canto as part of an initiative to find untapped Latin American talent for its series. It was launched last year when Fox’s new head of casting Tess Sanchez, herself of Latino descent, met Mexican casting director Yolanda Guillen at a Latin filmmakers convention. Guillen was retained to conduct a four-week search for Fox in November and December. The network received tapes of a number of actors, many of them established TV performers south of the border, and flew in several that it felt had potential to cross over to U.S. television. Two of them, Higareda and Canto, were signed in talent deals and will be exposed to producers and directors of Fox’s current crop of pilots. While Canto is an up-and-comer in Mexico and new to Hollywood, Higareda is established in her native country,...

Fans have spent two years hoping that Chad Michael Murray would make a return appearance on The CW's veteran drama "One Tree Hill," and now, he's finally confirmed that he will return as Lucas for one episode in the series' ninth and final season.
When Murray left the show after Season 6, there were rumors that he was hoping to launch a movie career -- but that didn't quite pan out. Still, the man who conquered the trifecta of televised adolescent angst (he had significant roles on "Gilmore Girls," "Dawson's Creek," and obviously "One Tree Hill") hasn't exactly been navel-gazing for the last two years.
After the Season 6 finale of "Oth," Cmm took a little break from the spotlight -- and for good reason! He'd spent six years as a WB heartthrob, which, he admits, may have skewed his perspective on life just a smidge. "When you're young and you're thrown...

The lastest in casting news for the upcoming fourth season of the BBC/Starz’s Torchwood is the addition of Mekhi Phifer (ER, Close Quarters, Lie To Me). Phifer scored the role of Rex Matheson that up-and-coming actor Enver Gjokaj (Dollhouse, Stone) and CW alum Chad Michael Murray (Lies In Plain Sight, One Tree Hill) had also been vying for.
Phifer’s character Rex is a “sharp-as-nails, funny-as-hell, tough-as-rawhide CIA agent who cares less about making a good impression than he does making a lasting one.” He joins the surviving members of the Torchwood crew, Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) along with another new character of Ester yet to be cast.
Arlene Tur (Crash, Eat Pray Love), pictured above, has also been cast in a recurring role as surgeon, Vera Juarez.

One of the best actors on television is up for a role in Starz’ Torchwood coming next summer. Enver Gjokaj (Stone, Lie to Me; pictured above), who impressed many with his range of acting skill in playing many different characters (aka imprints of different personalities) on Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse, is “eyeing the role” of a new character, Rex Matheson. Rex is a “sharp-as-nails, funny-as-hell, tough-as-rawhide CIA agent who cares less about making a good impression than he does making a lasting one.”
CW alum Chad Michael Murray (Lies In Plain Sight, One Tree Hill; pictured above) is also vying for the part.
Another new character is Esther Katusi, a “CIA Watch Analyst who against all odds, has both an unshakable faith in human nature and a monster crush on Rex.” Word is that Amber Stevens (Greek; pictured above) is the “frontrunner for this part.”

HollywoodNews.com: Playing a woman whose daughter has committed suicide in the movie ‘Lies in Plain Sight’ was an excruciating experience for Rosie Perez — literally. The actress was suffering from a slipped disc and a bulging disc throughout the shoot in June, and underwent a bone marrow procedure and neck surgery just four days after wrapping production.
“I had spoken to my doctor prior, and he advised me not to work. But I said, ‘This film is really speaking to me. I really want to do it,’” she tells us. She wound up getting through by “having an epidural in my spine, which they said wouldn’t hurt but it hurt like hell, and I had to have ice packs on between takes and have pain medication.
“But it was good for my character. It allowed my character to be very contained. That...
