Mosquita y Mari
Mosquita y Mari
Pre-screening conversation with writer-director Aurora Guerrero and actors Fenessa Pineda and Venecia Troncoso.
Straight A student Yolanda “Mosquita” (Fenessa Pineda) forges a friendship with the misunderstood, troublesome new girl at school, Mari (Venecia Troncoso). As Mosquita’s affections for Mari grow, and after a few shared instances of intimacy, the young women struggle to make sense of the confusing feelings blooming between them. Writer-director Aurora Guerrero developed the script from writing exercises in film school, basing the stories on a close friendship she experienced growing up. Taking place in the Huntington Park neighborhood of Southeast Los Angeles, the film illustrates the vibrant community of the predominantly Latinx district.
