Cheech to Attend San Diego Latino Film Festival

The fifteenth annual San Diego Latino Film Festival kicks off March 6th at UltraStar’s Hazard Center Cinema. Most of the films being shown will be new, but one is a Latino classic.

That's right! Cheech Marin's Born In East LA will be shown March 16th at 7PM. Cheech will be in attendance so it's a good time to get his autograph.

Born In East LA is about an American-born Hispanic who is illegally deported to Mexico and must sneak back across the border. The film deals with the immigration issue in a comedic tone.

When asked about the immigration issue, Cheech says “It’s gotten worse.” “We’re at the end of eight years of [Bush] Junior, and it’s an election year. It’s almost a given that whenever the economy goes bad, there’s immigrant bashing.”

“Salsa is now the No. 1 condiment. The change has already occurred. The process that’s happening is the perception of the change.”

Hi we had a great charity event here in San Francisco on June 12th for the Palomita Education Fund. I worked with Latino celebrties who helped design T Shirts that were auctioned off at the event; some like Cheech's will be auctioned off on line. I would like to talk with you to learn how we might share/work with you and your fans. The t shirt is great and very UNIQUElY Cheech!!!

Gracias
