Synopsis

FILLY BROWN is an inspiring and gritty portrait of a young artist striving to find her

voice and seize her dreams without compromise. Majo Tonorio, aka, “Filly Brown” is a

young raw hip-hop artist from Los Angeles who spits rhymes from the heart. With a

mother in prison and a father struggling to provide for his daughters, Majo knows that a

record contract could be her family’s ticket out. But when a record producer offers her a

shot at stardom, she is suddenly faced with the prospect of losing who she is as an artist,

as well as the friends who helped her reach the cusp of success. Directed by Youssef

Delara and Michael Olmos, FILLY BROWN is propelled by an exceptional cast

featuring Lou Diamond Phillips, Edward James Olmos and the legendary Jenni Rivera in

her final on-screen performance. Fueled by a fierce hip-hop score, FILLY BROWN

heralds the arrival of Gina Rodriguez in the electrifying title role.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

THE INSPIRATION

Youssef Delara: I found myself at the Green Cottage one night, a small cave-like venue

with bleachers and a weather-beaten stage in West Hollywood, CA. An annex to Fairfax

High-school hidden away behind the bustle of the city, It’s a place where street poets,

rappers and dreamers come to spit verse. After my first show I was hooked. The poets

held an uncanny power over us, taking us on a journey. We laughed and cringed as they

dealt out word after word. I was intrigued by the idea of how words informed the world,

how that night they drew me and the entire audience into the mind of the artist. I left that

night with the idea of telling a story about a person who uses a lie to create her world.

When the basis of one’s word is built on lies it is unable to cause change or move people.

I think that’s why we gravitate to music that is honest, sometimes vulgar even, because

the truth is a magnet. I wanted to tell a story about a person’s journey to discovering

herself through their music.

Michael D. Olmos: for me the inspiration was the story. After reading Youssef’s first

draft, I was impressed with the seamless integration of drama and music. There was a

rhythm to the story. It was something we picked up on during development and were able

to continue in post, in the editing. It’s not noticeable unless you look for it - but the

rhythm informs the story even when there’s no music, there’s a beat in the pacing of the

cuts.

Youssef was very open to me diving into the story with him to take it deeper. I think we

both attack story as directors first, rather than writer first. We both see the movie “unfold

on page. We started on the process and dove into the world of these amazing characters,

this family, each trying to do what’s right for each other, yet each so out of touch with

their authentic self, and each so emotionally isolated from each other, that they’re on the

verge of destruction. The tension is electric; It’s a house built of cards on a foundation of

melting ice.

The themes of the story are powerful. Like every story there are multiple themes but the

core for Filly Brown is the tenant of being true to your self - of finding the authentic self.

It’s a theme we can all relate to - the universal theme of being who you are, of not having

to wear a mask to fit in, to be accepted for your uniqueness and difference rather than

being punished for them. For each character in the story, and each in their own unique

way, this is the transformation they must all make.

The statement the story makes is that once you find your voice, your “truth,” all problems

in your world either fall away or are manageable, solutions present themselves, you find

compassion, and you navigate life on your terms.

Parallel to this journey is the music journey of Majo (aka Filly Brown). The other side to

her character is that she’s a talented MC. Her talent is obvious to everyone, and as

opportunities open up, the sharks take notice. Everyone starts to see dollars and wants a

piece. It’s a tenuous journey for Majo, because deep down she is scared of her own talent.

She has not been able to trust in her abilities, and instead would rather “adapt” someone

else’s voice as her own. She’s scamming and hustling to make a buck, It’s a skill she

picked up from her parents. Like her personal life, her music life is a sham. It takes a

reckoning in her personal life for her to admit she’s a fake, and influence those around

her to see that they are too. That’s one of the most inspiring things about this character –

she’s a catalyst. Her journey sparks a reaction in you, and it resonates off screen.

Pulling it all together is hope. We did not want the story to fall into a deep, dark chasm as

some dramatic stories might chose. We wanted a light at the end for these characters. We

love them, we respect them, and we want to see them succeed at all costs. In the end It’s

not about whether they get there or not, It’s the glimpse of hope that resonates after the

film. Hope that they will remain honest with each other, and make it on their own terms.

The story is inspiring for us on many levels -- the story of the underdog -- the story of the

artist searching for an authentic voice; in many ways these are our stories. Bringing Filly

Brown to life, working with an incredible and talented group of actors and collaborators,

helped us find our authentic voices as filmmakers.

DEVELOPING THE FILM

The first priority we had as filmmakers was developing the story, focusing on the story

arcs of all the central characters, making sure every scene pulled the audience into the

psychological center of the story. In this case the center of the story is Filly (Gina). The

first way we did this was by situation- we cut out all extraneous exposition.

Every scene is a situation that informs story, that pushes an arc, that feeds back to the

central story, every choice affecting the central character so that even when you’re not

with her, the situation that is unfolding is so intensely affecting her that you are on the

edge of your seat. It makes it feel that our central character is in every frame of the film --

and she is, only sometimes it’s through the lives of the other characters.

Once the script was where we envisioned we presented it to our producing team. The

response was overwhelmingly positive, if cautious. Edward’s exact words were, “If you

can find the lead, I’m in. But good luck, because the whole film will depend on her - if

you can’t find her no one will buy the [reality] of the story.”

Casting the lead character, Filly Brown, was the next big challenge we tackled. Initially

we were hoping to find a rapper we could mold into an actor. By the time casting began,

Khool-Aid and E-Dub Rios of Silent Giant Entertainment had come onto the team. As

pioneers of Latin Hip Hop, they were tasked with guarding the authenticity of the music

and the world and they began right away by bringing in talented female MC’s as potential

leads. But the realization soon set in that our timetable was perhaps a little too ambitious.

Whether it was turning an MC into a credible actress or an actress into a credible rapper,

it was starting to look like it would take longer than anticipated.

Little did we know that a screening the summer before at LALIFF held our answer. A

couple of members of the team had been at the screening of “Go For It” and had seen

Gina Rodriguez in her amazing supporting role. Remembering that fearless performance,

we brought her in to audition She killed the dramatic part of the audition, and then broke

into an impromptu rap. We kept our composure, but we knew right away.

The final piece of the puzzle came together at the end of 2010. Everyone on the team had

been scouring for financing in the middle of the worst economic crisis since the Great

Depression when Kevin Smith came forward with enough guts and vision to take a

chance on our project. The moment Kevin (not that Kevin Smith) committed to financing

the film, we were officially in pre-production.

DIRECTING AS A TEAM

We decided to attack the directing job as a team. Why? Because we both wanted to direct

the movie and this was our solution. We have a very symbiotic working relationship

because our story telling aesthetic is very similar. We both are intensely loyal to our

instinct and intuition when it comes to creative choices, so we operate on a process based

on “allowing” – we’ll say: “okay, I know you’re not gonna like this, but let’s just allow

and see what happens.” It allows ideas into our creative space that we might both

instinctively deny at first, but now we can explore - sometimes our initial instinct was

right and other times it lead us into new territory we never even considered.

In the end the best idea that serves the story wins - because that’s what it’s about; the

entire process is about telling the best story we can. Bottom line. We work pretty well

together even when we disagree. We will follow each other’s line of thought through to

the end to try and understand each other’s ideas completely, in the end we can agree to

disagree - but if what’s on screen is better than what either of us originally imagined, then

the debate is over.

Getting to this working relationship was not easy. We developed it over the course of a

year working on Bedrooms. We each had input on each other’s stories all the way

through post-production. It was a tenuous process to say the least, but in the end we

developed a short hand in dealing with each other on a creative and personal level.

So, two directors - how does that work? Well, we came up with scenarios we’d gleaned

from other directing teams, but the thing is, most directing teams started out that way -

not us. We were two directors with our first features under our belts. Neither of us wanted

to give up any directing tool available to us. After much debate, the conclusion was that

we couldn’t have creative debates on set -- no time or budget for that. That part of the

process had to happen way before we got into production.

We decided to lock ourselves in an office and act out all the scenes, block, re-write,

create the visual style, and structure the entire film. We did this for two weeks. For some

of the bigger sequences and complicated scenes we created a shot list. Then later when

we had our locations, we went there and did the same thing. Then we did it again on the

tech scout with our department heads. Of course we also knew from experience that we

could throw out any planned approach to a scene, leaving the door open for spontaneity

and new ideas on the day.

The one caveat we had was that if either of us felt we did not “have it” on any scene we

could jump in and get the extra takes or coverage we wanted, so that when we got to post

we had those choices in the edit bay. Prep was everything -- by the time we got to set on

the actual shoot, we were of one mind. We spent six months together in the edit bay,

crafting the film – we’ve been working on the film for eleven months. It’s been one of the

most rewarding creative processes for us.

TELLING THE STORY

Being creators as well as fans of film, we wanted to really design the film with intricate

blocking, staging, and camera moves. We also knew from experience the limitations of

indie films. We opted for a cinema vérité style for the music component of the story. This

style was perfect for the energy of that world - at times highlighting the excitement and at

other times the chaos. It also created a thrust and movement for the story and propelled

the pace of the film.

For the family elements of the story we went with the more classic film style - sticks,

dollies (where possible) and choreographed blocking. This created a deceiving silence,

like the eye of a hurricane, because the subtext of the dialogue between the characters

created a sense of foreboding.

And of course - whenever we were running out of time, all bets were off. The focus was

to get as much coverage and takes in the can. The plus was that we had two cameras, and

shot with both cameras as much as we could. In the end we knew that we had to get as

much as we could in the can, because this was not the kind of production that could

schedule two weeks of reshoots to pick up anything we didn’t get the first time around.

This was it. Whatever we got was all there was.

Working with Ben Kufrin we did tests on the RED camera to set a look for the film. We

knew that it would be a de-saturated world- at one point Youssef wanted to shoot Black

& White -- but we settled on a look we felt fit the story. A de-sat look with a splash of

color that stood out, that not only highlighted the character central to the scene, but also

informed mood and story.

The great thing about the RED and working with Ben is that he lights for a specific look,

but he gives us enough latitude on the raw file so that we have choices when we get to

color correction. The technology really opens the creative doors. We shot 2:35 aspect

ratio, which allowed the characters to live in a wide frame. We wanted a feeling of

isolation by framing them in a wide canvas. We also played with the idea of power shifts

in scenes with conflicting characters -- we would change the angle on a character as the

scene progressed (low to high), to diminish or enlarge their presence accordingly. We

wanted to always make use of the language of the camera.

We had to create this same structure with the music. It had to play into this design - it had

to also create dramatic situations for the audience to position themselves in the story. The

music had to continually push the story to the emotional center of the characters. It had to

serve the story. It’s not an easy thing to do, because it can’t be on the nose unless it

becomes melodramatic. It has to be counterpoint; it has to take you into the emotional

center from a different direction than the dramatic thrust. This way the audience makes

an emotional discovery when you find the connection.

We were able to create this by always starting with a big story idea with the music, and

then distill it down, minimizing it into simple dramatic lyrics and sounds. We had a great

music team between Edward “E-Dub” Rios and Reza Sefinia. The two of them allowed

us to continually push the music into different directions as the film demanded. In the

editing room, the story dictates how it wants to be told, and you have to allow that

process in, you can’t fight it. As we continuously tried to steer the story into the center,

and adjust for this, the music also had to adjust. We made so many changes I think we

drove them crazy at one point, but to their credit they adjusted their own creative process

to serve the film. As you’ll see in the credits, we were all ingrained in the music creation

process - and our music team allowed us to explore.

MUSIC

After the critical issue of casting “Filly”, we knew that finding the right composer and

music supervisor would be the next critical factor in delivering the authenticity to

our characters’ world and driving the story home.

We wanted the music to create dramatic situations for the audience to position

themselves in the story, and continually push that story to the emotional center of the

character without becoming melodramatic. On top of that we had to mesh the dramatic

score intimately with the performance songs, the orchestral elements had to keep the grit

of Filly’s world whilst the hip-hop had to retain the drama of her story. Reza Safinia was

just the man to deliver that balance. Prior to his current incarnation as a composer/music

supervisor, Reza was a very successful record producer working with international pop

stars such as Kylie Minogue, and prior to that, he started his career in studios assisting in

sessions with some the biggest names in hip-hop such as Wu Tang and Terror Squad.

Reza created the seamless soundscape of the film by using common elements throughout

the score that could be reprised into different productions. The movie opens with his

unadulterated banger “Dream Big”, a pounding beat incorporating soaring strings and

mesmeric piano line, harking to the aspirations of our protagonist, that deconstruct into

the sobering score of the prison segment as the beat vanishes.

Elsewhere the score mutates into dark electronic tones, incorporating genres such as

dubstep, to reflect the aggression of the antagonist character Wyatt. The performance

songs also take a turn to urban pop as Filly’s career progresses under the guidance of the

Svengali Big Cee, who steers Filly away from her underground roots. As the music spans

the course of Filly’s career and character arc, so does the vocal delivery.

Reza drew on his experiences recording both the most underground of rappers, and the

most polished of pop stars, to coach Gina Rodriguez, in the different stages of Filly the

artist, and she excelled. Initially he had her just talk on the mic, about her life, about her

thoughts, whilst music was playing in her headphones, until she was so comfortable that

it became second nature and the talks turned into fluid raps. On “Dream Big” she sounds

as hard as she does effortless, with a sick street flow, on “Filly Brown” (Big Cee) she

sounds like a perfect urban pop princess. From a story telling point of view it was

important to get these extremes from Gina’s performance to show the artistic arc of the

“Filly Brown” character.

In the final scene of the movie, Filly’s been shamed, she’s lost her pop career, but she’s

found her family and found herself going full circle to her underground rapper persona.

Everything we’ve seen in the film culminates in the moment she faces her mother across

a prison glass window, rapping her heart out, her soul laid bare to the audience. The

scene starts with the orchestral score setting the emotional tone, capturing the family

dynamic, and as Filly finds her groove, a hard hip-hop beat introduces itself into the

climax of evocative strings. Once again the score and the hip-hop live in harmony as

Filly’s story resolves.

Reza was very lucky to be able to collaborate with a great team of artists and lyricists put

together by music supervisor, Edward “E-Dub” Rios. Rios is a founder of Silent Giant

Entertainment, an entertainment content production company, with a nationally

syndicated radio program for over ten years, Pocos Pero Locos, featured in the movie.

PPL, hosted by E-Dub and Lisa “Khool-Aid” Rios, has been deeply rooted in the English

speaking Hispanic marketplace, and is heritage for multiple generations of Latinos, due to

the fact that it is, and has been the only program of its kind in the country.

For Pocos Pero Locos, there was an importance in adding sprinkles of authentic lifestyle,

such as Manny’s tattoo shop and the integration of an online radio station, in order for the

movement’s core to devote their loyalty, and increase grassroots word-of-mouth and

natural discovery.

Integrating real-life musical artists from the PPL world was also a priority, so the team

called on support from long-time friends and music industry colleagues Jenni Rivera,

Chingo Bling, Baby Bash, Cuete Yeska, Braxton Millz, Funny Bones Crew along with

other artists that appear in film.

On April 16th, Milan Records will release the Original Music Album to "Filly Brown"

with the film’s score and songs featuring Gina Rodriguez, Braxton Mills and

Diamonique.  The record will be produced by Reza Safinia and include tracks of original

music used in the film.  Silent Giant Entertainment will be releasing The Original Motion

Picture Soundtrack to 'Filly Brown' with songs inspired by the movie, offering their take

on the underground Latin hip-hop scene.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES from Youssef Delara

Independent films are hard so laugh a lot. They are exhausting to endure but freeing to

your creative spirit. Here are a couple things I learned along the way. You don’t have to

have all the answers, or even act like you know what you’re doing, you just have to be

honest. You have to trust your vision in the moments it lets you down. Cop to your

mistake, openly in public, then everyone wants to help. People are generally nice that

way if you empower them. Work your tail off, because then you can call out anyone who

doesn’t. Don’t worry about your vision or personal stamp, everyone’s got one that’s

probably derived from everything they’ve ever seen. Just do what you think is cool. And,

this is big, listen to trusted friends, when they tell you It’s not as cool as you think it is.

This might sound obvious but you’d be surprised the acting up giving something up, even

something small, goes a long way. Sometimes you have to be a jerk, don’t worry about it,

just laugh it off

DIRECTOR’S NOTES from Michael D. Olmos

Filmmaking, for me, is about discovery and finding new connections; on a story level, on

an intellectual level and most importantly on an emotional level. I come from a diverse

cultural background, which, I think, has always given me a unique outlook on life. My

second favorite thing to do is to travel, meet new people and experience other cultures.

The more I do this, the more I see that we are all more alike than different, connected,

and film is one of our common currencies.

What I hoped to add to this project was my own unique, fingerprint to the story, and my

own unique worldview. I saw the character of Filly Brown as an avatar for everyone’s

rite of passage to find his or her own authentic self. Through this tenacious,

uncompromising, confused, desperate, deluded, compassionate, talented, reckless and

lovable character, a walking contradiction - brought to life by the original and

incomparable Gina Rodriguez - we were able to accomplish that goal.

Part of our discovery on this film, influenced by the music, was its operatic design. It

feels like a movement that builds to the last dramatic scene that is so emotionally

overpowering, that it drains you and revitalizes you in the same breath. We designed it so

that there are no close-ended scenes in the film. Each scene leads into the next - building

on the one before it, all the way to the final scene that ends in a crescendo. It’s still a

traditional three-act story, with turning points and a climax because of the dramatic

through line - but because of the musical structure to compliment it, it builds and builds

all the way to the end.

Francisco Independent film festival. Kufrin’s almost exclusive use of hand held 35mm

camera work in ESL: English As A Second Language helped to garner that film a Best

Feature nod at the 2006 New York Latino Film Festival and an Outstanding Achievement

in Filmmaking Award at the Newport Beach Film Festival the same year before making

It’s network debut on Showtime.

Kufrin continues demonstrating versatility and range behind the camera as he was

featured in various 2009 issues of P3 Production Update, Widescreen Review, High Def

and KODAK’s InCamera magazines for his ground- breaking revival of the Techniscope

2-perf 35mm film format in conjunction with the digital intermediate finish for the

forthcoming feature, Curve of Earth . aka Happy In The Valley . That film took four top

honors at the December 2009 Monaco International Film Festival Angel Awards taking

home Best Feature Film, Best Ensemble Cast, Best Supporting Actress (Ursula Brooks)

and Best Actor (William Forsythe).

Kufrin followed up his partnership with "ESL’s" writer–director Youssef DeLara with

another Showtime network feature, Bedrooms, along with co-directors Michael D. Olmos

and Victor Teran. The ensemble drama features cast members Julie Benz (Dexter, Rambo

2008) and Moon Bloodgood (Eight Below, Terminator Salvation) among others. Most

recently Ben shot the feature, Filly Brown another collaboration with directors Youssef

DeLara and Michael D. Olmos. The hip-hop music-driven drama stars Gina Rodriguez,

Lou Diamond Phillips & Edward James Olmos and is an official U.S. selection for

dramatic feature at the 2012 Sundance International Film Festival.

ERIC BRODEUR (Editor) is a 'military brat' born in California, his family traveled

throughout Europe before settling in Pennsylvania. He graduated with a degree in

Computer Information Systems working for Fortune 100 companies, start-ups, and higher

education institutions in Philadelphia. But fueled by a strong desire to reconnect with his

childhood love for movies, he relocated to Los Angeles in the pursuit of a new career.

This journey led him to motion picture editing where his technology background was a

perfect fit for the digital cinema revolution and his creative ambitions.

He got his break in 2008 as an assistant editor on two independent features. During this

time he met writer/director Youssef Delara and joined the crew of Delara's second

feature, BEDROOMS, as a picture editor. Starring Julie Benz (Dexter), Moon Bloodgood

(Terminator Salvation), Xander Berkeley (24) and others, BEDROOMS won two Best

Feature awards and aired on Showtime. His next feature as picture editor, IJE THE

JOURNEY, a Nigerian-American film starring two of that country’s leading actresses,

Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, became one of Nigeria’s top grossing

films ever while winning awards for Best Editing and Best Feature.

Collaborating once again with directors Youssef Delara and Michael Olmos, Mr. Brodeur

returned as a picture editor on FILLY BROWN.

His assistant editor credits include THE SURROGATE, starring Helen Hunt (As Good

As It Gets), John Hakes (Winter's Bone), and William H. Macy (Fargo) also in U.S.

Dramatic Competition at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. In addition, Eric has worked

on THE GREEN GODDESS, FINDING GAUGUIN, and two films by writer/director

Sebastian Gutierrez, ELEKTRA LUXX and HOTEL NOIR. ELEKTRA LUXX starring

Carla Gugino (Sucker Punch) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Inception) was in competition

at SXSW 2010, and nearing completion is HOTEL NOIR starring Carla Gugino, Rufus

Sewell (Dark City), and Malin Ackerman (Watchmen).

REZA SAFINIA (Composer) Reza Safinia is a composer raised in London and living in

LA. Prior to composing for film, he was a Universal Music songwriter and record

producer/engineer working with artists such as Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears and

Ms Dynamite. His work is a textured collage of his professional and personal

experiences, from his early years playing in rock bands to working as a Hip Hop engineer

at Jive Records’ Battery Studios in NYC.

A multi-instrumentalist with a decade of production expertise, Reza creates music, sound

design and the space in between with a three-dimensional approach: Orchestral elements,

ambient music and ethnic influences are fused with electronica/rock creating a tactile

sound serving the image. Acoustic performances blend seamlessly with industrial noise in

a space where even the most tweaked sounds retain an organic quality. Bands like

Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails inform Reza’s musical sensibility as much as composers

like Gustavo Santollalla and Clint Mansell, and every now and then there will be an echo

of his UK urban roots with some roaring dubstep bass.

Alongside his career in pop music, and composing, Reza has been deeply involved in

underground music also. He co-founded the UK indie label “Illa State Records”, which

played a pivotal role in the grime/dubstep movement through the release “It’s Not A

Rumour” by artist Akala: The “eclectic and polished debut” (The Times), with “raw

energy and outrageous talent” (BBC Music), was produced and co-written by Reza and

garnered Akala a prestigious MOBO award (beating fellow nominees Kanye West and

Busta Rhymes).

Reza’s compositions for film can be heard in Youssef Delara and Michael Olmos’ hip

hop driven feature “Filly Brown” to premier at Sundance 2012, and in last year’s

“Kinyarwanda”, an audience award winner at Sundance 2011. He has also composed

music for a number documentaries and TV, including ABC’s forthcoming “Final

Witness”.

KRYSTYNA ŁOBODA (Production Design) Recent feature film credits include: “Kill

Me, Deadly” a film-noir comedy starring Joe Mantegna and Kirsten Vangsness, “Stitch”

with Edward Furlong, “Shadows of the White Nights” with Christian Slater,

“Kerosene Cowboys” with Bill Pullman directed by Mario Van Peebles, and “Christina”

starring Avatar’s Stephen Lang. Before joining the ranks of independent film, Krystyna

began her career on the stage.

Her theatrical set and lighting designs have been seen on London’s West End, the

Edinburgh Festival, the International Scenography Quadrennial in Prague, and the World

Stage Design Expo in Toronto. As a student, she was honored with an Emmy Award for

the short film “The Elements.” She is a member of IATSE local 800, Art Director’s

Guild.

network MUN2, “Chiquis & Raq-C”, and is all around the world, and now stars in her

sequel/spin-off show called I Love Jenni. Filly Brown is Jenni’s film debut.

LOU DIAMOND PHILLIPS (Jose Tonorio) artistic versatility has allowed him success

in theatre, television and feature films as well as directing, writing and producing. He can

next be seen opposite Edward James Olmos in the film “Filly Brown” at Sundance 2012,

and on the new A&E series “Longmire” opposite Katee Sackhoff and Robert Taylor.

Phillips first came to the public’s attention when he starred as Richie Valens in “La

Bamba.” He then solidified his reputation in “Stand and Deliver,” for which he won the

Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actor and received a Best Supporting

Actor Golden Globe nomination. Phillips also co-starred in Ed Zwick critically acclaimed

drama, “Courage Under Fire”, where he received strong reviews and a Blockbuster

Phillips, originally born in the Phillipines, was raised in Texas. He currently resides in

Los Angeles with his wife Yvonne. He has four daughters Indigo, Grace, Isabella and

Lili.

EDWARD JAMES OLMOS (Leondro) has achieved extraordinary success as an actor,

producer and humanitarian. The Tony, Emmy and Academy Award Nominated actor, is

probably best known to young audiences for his work on the SYFY television series

“Battlestar Galatica” as Admiral William Adama. Although the series kept the actor busy

during its run from 2003 through 2009, it didn’t stop him from directing the HBO movie

“Walkout” in 2007, for which he earned a DGA Nomination in the Outstanding

Directional Achievement in Movies for Television category.

Olmos’ career in entertainment spans over 30 years. In that time he created a signature

style and aesthetic that he applies to every artist endeavor, often grounding his characters

in reality and gravitas. His dedication to his craft has brought him attention across the

industry, and with audiences worldwide.

Originally a musician, Olmos branched out into acting, appearing in many small theatre

productions until portraying the iconic El Pachuco in “Zoot Suit.” The play moved to

Broadway and Olmos earned a Tony nomination for the role, which he revised in the

1981 film version.

Olmos went on to appear in the films Wolfen, Blade Runner, and the Ballad of Gregorio

Cortez before starring in his biggest role to date, that of Lieutenant Martin Castillo in the

Iconic 80’s television series “Miami Vice” opposite Don Johnson and Phillip Michael

Thomas. During his time on the Michael Mann series, Olmos earned two Golden Globe

and Emmy Award nominations, resulting in a win from each.

In 1988, the actor was nominated for an Academy and won the Golden Globe for his

portrayal of Jaime Escalante in Stand and Deliver. He directed and starred in his first

motion picture, American Me, in 1992.

Other credits as an actor include the motion pictures My Family/Mi Familia; Selena,

which was a breakout film for Jennifer Lopez; and in the Time of Butterflies, in which he

played Dominican Republic dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. In television, he enjoyed a

recurring role as U.S. Supreme Court Justice Roberto Mendoza in the NBC drama “The

West Wing,” portrayed a widowed father in the PBS drama American Family: Journey of

Dreams, and recently appeared in season six of the hit TV show Dexter, which was

nominated for a SAG award.
