Mi Vida Loca (1993) through the lens of José Esteban Muñoz's The Sense of Being Brown (The Brown Commons, and the Transmission of Brownness). Muñoz is perhaps more known for his groundbreaking work, Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity. He was working on what would become The Sense of Being Brown when he died in 2013, and his work was posthumously published in 2020. Mi Vida Loca was directed by Allison Anders who also made Gas Food Lodging (1992) featuring a very young Fairuza Balk and Jacob Vargas, and Border Radio (1987) featuring LA punk legend John Doe (X). Vargas also appeared in Mi Vida Loca, joined by Angel Aviles, Seidy Lopez, Jesse Borrego, a cameo by Salma Hayek, and most notably, the young folks who lived in Echo Park. Anders famously used real people for the film and the community gave feedback, helping shape the narrative and had a voice in ensuring the film contained realistic nuances. taken in Latinx Research Center by @botanicanahualli
