Art, theater, and a politically driven upbringing in the Mission District were the fundamental markers that fueled Alma Herrera-Pazmi\u00f1o\u2019s passion for storytelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole educational career after school was really foundational to how I see the world through art,\u201d Pazmi\u00f1o told El Tecolote.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a child, Pazmi\u00f1o frequently participated in local productions and community programs like Loco Bloco \u2014 a program that incorporates Afro-Latinx traditions to engage San Francisco youth through music, dance, and theater. It was there that she began to participate in the \u201cTheater of the Oppressed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI remember there was a play called \u2018<\/strong>Burning American Dreams\u2019 <\/em>and [it] was about my neighbors across the street, who were being evicted,\u201d Pazmi\u00f1o said. \u201cI learned what Ellis Act Evictions were when I was in fifth grade \u2026 It was the first time I saw myself reflected in a play and the following year \u2014 I was cast in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her involvement in these influential spaces paved the way for her career as a filmmaker. Pazmi\u00f1o is currently featured on the Cine+M\u00e1s Latino Film Festival lineup for a short 12-minute film she wrote, produced and directed titled \u201c#LaGaybie\u201d. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cine+M\u00e1s SF is a non-profit organization in its 15th year of showcasing emerging and established creators from the United States, Latin America, Spain and Portugal. Cine+M\u00e1s SF has year-round programming and special events that seek to amplify Latinx communities through visual, performance, and literary arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c#LaGaybie\u201d is a coming-of-age story depicting the journey of Simona, a young LGBTQ+ individual navigating familial and societal expectations on identity. The film begins with the protagonist, Simona, filling out a questionnaire given to her by her cousin, Raquel, who is also queer, titled \u201cWhat kind of Queer are you?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wrote this short film and it [is] based on a few things \u2026 the coming out experience, and what I was learning through my friend’s experiences, growing up in really catholic homes and being queer,\u201d Pazmi\u00f1o said. \u201cThe other piece was really around these \u2026 heteronormative boxes that my queer community also places within ourselves \u2014 [a] kind of gender performance you have to play based on who you are [or] who you are dating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Femme,\u2019 \u2018Lipstick Lesbian,\u2019 \u2018Flirt,\u2019 and \u2018Gold Star\u2019 were words displayed in bold red in the following scene, all terms that can be considered controversial as they may be used to pigeonhole queer people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[The] idea that two studs <\/em>or two butch <\/em>people can\u2019t be together because one has to be the more feminine one, and one has to be the more masculine one,\u201d Pazmi\u00f1o told El Tecolote<\/em>. \u201cThose were conversations me and my partner, at that time, were having because people were telling us \u2018you should be more like this,\u2019 <\/em>so it was a lot of interpersonal dynamics that were very nuanced.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nuances Pazmi\u00f1o references are often \u2014 not only \u2014 pressured by society but forced upon by the queer community. Pazmi\u00f1o includes scenes of Simona\u2019s cousin putting makeup on her and dressing her in a way that conforms to a specific \u2018identity,\u2019 which highlights the pressure on queerness adhering to socially, digestible identities. \u201cI was trying to play around with the idea \u2026  a day in the life of what it feels like to not want to accept that you are [or have to be] something,\u201d <\/em>Pazmi\u00f1o said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film also addresses the relationship between Simona and her seemingly catholic mother, who is introduced, praying with a rosary and holding a torn piece of the \u201cWhat Kind of Queer are you?\u201d <\/em>questionnaire. Throughout the film, there are scenes that emphasize the internal struggle between Simona and her mother, as Simona wants to mend the relationship but not apologize for who she is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI also wanted to really think about space and how sometimes there\u2019s places where we feel really isolated and small, and there\u2019s other places where we feel bigger,\u201d said Pazmi\u00f1o. \u201cThere are two locations in the film that represent that smallness, and then that openness.\u201d She mentions two locations where the protagonist is shot, her home surrounded by Catholic memorabilia and the beach with Simona sitting on the sand, conveying a sense of peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#LaGaybie,<\/em> also incorporates subtle traces of the Salvadoran culture because, as a child, Pazmi\u00f1o believed that she was Salvadoran as most of what surrounded her, were the traditions and culture of the Salvadoran community. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t until I was 6 that my mom corrected me, with kindness, and was like \u2018No, you\u2019re Ecuadorian,\u2019\u201d Pazmi\u00f1o said. \u201cA lot of the community that I grew up with was Salvadoran, I grew up with those traditions. So I definitely have a deep respect and love for the [Salvadoran] community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pazmi\u00f1o spoke to El Tecolote <\/em>about her choice to highlight the protagonist’s Salvadoran culture throughout the film. \u201cYou see echoes of that piece of her identity throughout her room, I wanted to make sure that was clear \u2014 I was hoping that this could also share pieces of love with the [Salvadoran] community. Like the little moments of language, the text messages, I was hoping for that to be a shout-out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last portion of the film, Simona goes to her local panaderia, La Reyna Bakery, to pick up some bread for her mother. \u201cI wanted there to be a break from her depression and to offer some perspective to her life, there\u2019s a life outside of the family,\u201d Pazmi\u00f1o said. \u201cThe connection for me was the bread. One of my fondest memories is either after church, or on the weekends going to get pan dulce<\/em> with my family, that just would bring me joy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symbolism behind Simona picking up pan dulce <\/em>was included to imply this concept of \u2018breaking bread\u2019 and the unifying of two people, these two people being Simona and her mother. \u201cIf my mom and I weren\u2019t talking, weren\u2019t sharing bread, that bread would actually be a glue, a silent glue. I think that bread, especially pan dulce, <\/em>is the symbol of communion, whether it\u2019s with a family, a loved one, or with your neighbors.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#LaGaybie ends with a kind gesture from a stranger. While Simona is picking up pan dulce, <\/em>this stranger pays for Simona\u2019s bread and leaves her with a smile and a phone number. It concludes with a sense of acceptance, even from a stranger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#LaGaybie examines these heteronormative labels that can often be exclusionary and allow individuals to choose who they are or want to be. Identities that are not based on fear of rejection. \u201cIt\u2019s okay to accept yourself, even if others don\u2019t, you\u2019re still loved regardless. I really hope [\u2018#LaGaybie\u2019] offers someone hope.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#LaGaybie <\/em>was featured at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco on Sept. 30 as part of the Cine+M\u00e1s Latino Film Festival. To learn more about Alma Herrera-Pazmi\u00f1o and her work please visit her website: aherrerapazmino.myportfolio.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
