I am looking for a source to book Latino movies for a local independant theatre. He does not seem to have any luck in finding one------------------

Are you looking for purely Latino movies, or just spanish-subtitled hollywood fare?

Latino movies not just the sub titled ones------------------

You might try contacting Boxoffice.com as they seem to have a handle on all the distributors. I plan on doing that and using Mexican movies when my operation is up and going as we have quite a large Latino population in the south county and no one is catering to them (out of 12 screens in the area).Bob

Metropolitan Theatres handle all the Spanish films in Los Angeles.

Mike--An excellent place to check is the San Diego Latino Film Festival Web site. Click on on the Print Sources link (near bottom of screen) to view the producer list. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find a list of distributors.We had a quite a bit in 35mm for this year's festival (well over two dozen features in a week-long stint, which makes for quite a challenge in a platter house!); you should be able to put together a healthy program.
