The La Vida Productions and Less Than Half Pictures have joined forces for their newest project: Las Chinacas Del Encanto created by Berenice Manzano Castro 🎬

We are excited to announce our Indiegogo campaign has officially launched!

Las Chinacas Del Encanto, follows the story of sisters Sonia and Erisa as they stumble upon magical forest creatures named Chinacas, whose magical stone they lost in the forest. They find that the Devil himself has found it, and it is up to them to retrieve it!

This project is born out of Berenice’s early childhood in a Mexican-immigrant household and her close relationship with her younger sister. Capturing the ancient art of Mexican folktales and the beauty of fantasy storytelling, this short film explores the beauty of young sisterhood and Mexican visual culture.

Las Chinacas Del Encanto is a Latino/Women led project. Gathering talent from all over the Bay Area, our mighty crew is excited to bring a passionate latino story about womanhood to life!

It is vital that Latino stories be told by Latino filmmakers. However, as many of you know filmmaking is costly, and with your support we can this make this story happen. Your contributions will help support us with actor travel and art department costs.

We deeply appreciate any and all support, whenever it be donating to sharing our campaign! Thank you ❤️ Link in Bio to donate and read more about our project!

One minute it’s a nice sunny summer, then it gets all rainy and wet and cold and gloomy and cloudy, but then I realize I actually enjoy seeing the trees change color. Applications are open to whoever wants to thrift comfy sweaters with me.

“in another universe, my mom would love you” Directed by Lottie Pacheco-Lobatos

After taking some time away in this current universe, Lottie and Less Than Half Pictures is excited to share that their sophomore film ‘in another universe, my mom would love you’ is finally en-route to completion.

Written and directed by Lottie in a semi-autobiographical sense, IAUMMWLY follows Selene’s road to independence after being disowned by her mother. It is there that she mourns the loss of her old life and clutches on to the foundations of her new life.

Director’s Note: Hi! This year’s been rough for me, but I want to get this out you all in 2025. I hope everyone knows in every universe, you can have both. This is dedicated to my mother, Nicolaza, who I’ll love til the end of time. And to my life partner Kiana, who I’d do it all over again for.

See you guys in 2025! ❤️‍🔥
