Through orchestrating this culturally-rich grouping of Latin films, he rediscovered and further expanded his own knowledge of what it means to be a Latin man, and how to embrace such a vibrant community. In his free time, Negron enjoys binge-watching bad and good television alike, making music with his friends, and on more than one occasion, he can be seen onstage in local theatrical productions!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Information\u00a0 provided to TVL by: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
