1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 2: Eva Longoria makes her directorial debut with Flaming Hot, the

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: true story of the Latino Frido le Janitor who invented

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 2: flaming Hot Dorito's. It's shocking to say, but even in

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, a film made by a Latina director

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 2: is still almost unheard of, and Eva was well aware

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 2: of that while making the project. She tells Variety, I

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: felt the weight of my community and the weights of

9
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 2: every female director. We don't get a lot of bites

10
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: at the Apple. When was the last Latina directed studio film.

11
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: We can't get a movie every twenty years. The problem

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: is if this movie fails, people say Latinos stories don't work.

13
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 2: Our female directors really don't cut it. We don't get

14
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,959
Speaker 2: a lot of app bats. That's the problem. I get

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: one chance, so I worked twice as hard, twice as fast,

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: twice as cheap.

17
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 3: For me, it fueled me. I was determined. Flaming Hot

18
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 3: in theaters today.

19
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: That's direct from Hollywood.
