Abstract

La Buena Cosecha is a feature-length documentary that explores the remarkable contributions of Latino business owners in Orlando and the United States. The film delves into the journeys of two families of entrepreneurs from Colombia and Puerto Rico, as they navigate the competitive U.S. food market. Faced with numerous obstacles, they must persevere to fulfill their dreams, honor their Latino heritage, secure a legacy for their children, and make lasting contributions to the U.S. economy. La Buena Cosecha not only celebrates their positive impact but also challenges stereotypes about the Latino community, underscoring their incredible potential to shape the nation for the better.

Directed by Melanie Cedeño-Lopez, La Buena Cosecha, has been produced as part of the requirements for earning a Master of Fine Arts in Feature Film Production from the University of Central Florida.
