Newark Latino Film Festival
Honoring Stories. Elevating Latino Voices.
In 2026, Fiscal Youth founder Diego Mendez joined the committee for the Newark Latino Film Festival (NLFF) - one of the most impactful platforms for Latino creators in New Jersey. From submitting his first short to helping shape the future of the festival, Diego's journey has come full circle.

Why It Matters
At Fiscal Youth, our mission has always been rooted in authentic storytelling. The NLFF embodies that same vision — to spotlight bold, underrepresented voices and build community through film.
This partnership isn’t just recognition — it’s responsibility. We’re committed to helping other indie filmmakers rise.
