North Hollywood, CA – April 2, 2025 – The highly anticipated premiere of Horchata
with Oatmilk lit up the famous El Portal Theatre last night, bringing together an
incredible mix of Hollywood stars, community leaders, and influential Latino leaders for
a celebration of independent filmmaking at its finest.
Stay tuned for exclusive red carpet footage on Latin Affiliated's YouTube channel coming out Thursday April 3!
Created and written by The Watche, Johnny Murrilo of, Chicano Hollywood and
produced by Echosworld, this self-funded passion project is more than just a comedy—
it’s a testament to perseverance, storytelling, and the power of community. The
premiere welcomed an enthusiastic audience, including cast members Doknow, Jerry
Garcia, Concrete, Anthony L. Fernandez, Xochitl Guzman, J Valentino, and
Alexander Gibson who brought their signature energy to the red carpet and the
screen.
Among the distinguished guests were community leaders, entertainment industry
professionals, and key figures in the Latino creative space, all showing their
support for a film that highlighted themes of gentrification, cultural identity, and the
everyday humor that connects us all. The night was filled with excitement, laughter, and
a deep appreciation for the impact of independent Latino storytelling in Hollywood.
Director Christian Leyva took the stage after the screening, expressing gratitude for
the unwavering support of the community of family, friends and collogues. “This film
started as an idea. A way for us to create something for us by us. Seeing it come to life
tonight, surrounded by our people is powerful,” said Leyva.
In true comedic fashion, the filmmakers played an April Fool’s joke on the public by
announcing that the movie was available for free on their website—only for fans to
quickly realize they had been duped. However, as a reward for their enthusiasm, the
team offered exclusive pre-sale tickets for an online screening, allowing audiences to
watch Horchata with Oat Milk from home starting April 20th.
With a packed theater, roaring laughter, and a standing ovation, Horchata with Oat Milk
has officially made its mark in the comedy culture of movie making. As the film
continues its journey, one thing is clear—this is just the beginning for a story and a team
that’s ready to leave a lasting legacy in the industry.
