In this episode of Lights, Camera, Latino! we sit down with award-winning Puerto Rican filmmaker Ariel Zengotita, whose work blends psychological horror with dark comedy — and whose latest project, IMAGO, was selected for Jordan Peele’s groundbreaking NO DRAMA Initiative powered by Monkeypaw, Universal, and TIFF.
We talk about Ariel’s journey from Puerto Rico to North Carolina, how his identity shapes his artistry, and what it meant to receive a $50,000 grant to bring IMAGO to life. Ariel also breaks down the art of mixing fear, humor, and heritage — and why telling Boricua stories in genre filmmaking matters now more than ever.
This conversation is all about representation, resilience, and trusting your creative voice.
