A History of the OCLFF
The first Orange County Latino Film Festival was held in Historic Downtown Santa Ana's Teatro Fiesta in late 2004. Another festival was again held there in 2005 and experienced a larger turnout than the inaugural year. The festival has since been on hiatus due to a period of reestablishment and restructuring.
As attractions, the organizers managed to bring some name talent including actors and actresses and industry professionals such as Maya Zapata, Michael Peña, Arturo Montiel, Eduardo Santamarina, Moctezuma Esparza, Leopoldo Laborde, Gerardo Tort, and Luis Kelly.
Organization
The first organizers of the OCLFF were Manuel Saldívar, a protégé of Moctezuma Esparza, Freyr Thor, Olga Plateado and Armando CossyLeon.
