Douglas Spain and Michael J. Knowles in Hollyweird (2019)
After a freak accident on a movie set incapacitates its Latino star, a hunt for his replacement begins. Steve Fernandez, a struggling actor, longs for the role but can't seem to get out of his own way. Meanwhile a new arrival, Alejandro, hitchhikes into town with just his bravado and the red shirt on his back and is instantly discovered to take the part. When these two actors cross paths, and a secret is discovered, both are forced to redefine success in Hollyweird.

    Excellent Movie!

    Great movie, hilarious and at the same time makes you think on all the struggles that latinos have to deal with in this industry.

    Highly recommended !!!

    One of a kind film

    This independent film captures the true struggles many Latinos endure in the entertainment industry. Hollyweird is able to deliver comedic relief throughout the film with keen cinematography-enabling the viewer to engulf each character's thoughts and emotions. It's a must-see underdog story that makes you want to fight for your dreams!

    Must see independent film that touches the heart!!

    Hollyweird is an original, comical satire, which brilliantly portrays the ironical typecasting of Latinos in the modern-day movie business. It's a feel good, entertaining, and enjoyable film, which provides a refreshing insight into the daily struggles of a Latino actor in the competitive world of Hollywood acting. Hollyweird brilliantly captures a diverse set of emotions through the successes and failures of its characters, making it a relatable experience to the everyday viewer.

    Representation Matters

    Finally, a movie that accurately portrays the struggles in Hollywood, especially from the point of view of a Latinx. Well done! I wish every movie I watched was as diverse and real-world representative as this film. Hollyweird is unique, funny, has a lot of heart and perhaps most importantly, so crucially relevant today. I hope other films follow in its footsteps and I can't wait to see more from these writers.

    Wasn't sure what to expect, but I really enjoyed it

    There are so many layers in this film that make it a lot of fun to watch. I thought it was genuinely funny with a good story and the acting was decent as well. I recognized one of the actors, Michael Knowles, and was pleasantly surprised to see him in a role outside of his usual capacity.

    Overall, you'll be glad you watched the film. I was never bored and literally laughed out loud several times. Plus, if you know LA at all, you'll enjoy the locations where they shot the film. Overall - 7 out of 10.
