Bringing LA Success To Hollywood Suite: A Few Minutes with Gigi Saul Guerrero and ‘Culture Shock’

It’s important to support the Can-Con….

On this episode and in celebration of episode #400 (We Can’t Believe It Either) we’re diving into some cinema from a Canadian talent who is making good in Hollywood and we dive into that ‘Culture Shock’.

This thriller follows a young Mexican woman in pursuit of the American Dream, who crosses illegally into the United States, only to find herself in an American nightmare.

As a part of the ‘Into The Dark’ anthology series from Blumhouse Television, this is the feature debut of our very own Gigi Saul Guerrero who has gone on to make other films like ‘Bingo Hell’ which is now on Prime Video with tons of other projects in development.

While this has been available via Hulu with our friends to the south of us for quite some time, it’s actually debuting on Hollywood Suite here in Canada, TODAY.

We got to sit down with Gigi and talk about how she got the job, the importance of the story to her, how she connected to it as a Mexican-Canadian, navigating the business in LA and so very much more….
