Sandra and Evelina talk about the East LA stories that have never been told, and why some of them deserve to be movies. Worth hearing for filmmakers, playwrights, and anyone with a story of their own to tell. She also explains why her favorite reviews come from the theater lobby, when strangers ask how she knew their story. Listen in, and stay to the end for her three favorite tacos.
