A Production Company Committed to Telling Culturally Accurate Latino Stories
We make films with a purpose, to change the narrative. Being respectful and culturally accurate.
There are 40 million Americans of Mexican descent and 63 million of Latino descent, and their stories have not been told correctly.
Latinos account for 25% of the movie ticket purchasing power in the US, and they are eager to see their stories depicted respectfully and accurately on the big screen and television.
But for far too long, the Mexican-American & Latino community has been depicted by Hollywood as invaders, gang members, laborers, or just non-existent.
It’s time for that to change.
At Ruiz/Elevamos Films, we believe that our film & television projects have the power to change the narrative and give a voice to those who have been silenced.
The First Cowboy Short Film
We are excited to announce our first short film, The First Cowboy. We premiered this film at the second annual Mexican American Film & Television Festival to a tremendous audience response.
If you wish to view the short film, it has been submitted to multiple film festivals to be screened in the upcoming year. Stay in touch for updates on how to view it in its entirety.
