The NALIP Official Selection is a unique showcase of short-form content screened at the NALIP Media Summit (August 11th-August 14th 2022). Together, these works feature a variety of subjects, voices, and viewpoints that attest to the rich and talented diversity of the Latine community.

The NALIP Media Summit is a 4-day event focused on bringing Latine people in media together and providing them with the tools, information, and networking opportunities that will propel them to advance their careers in the industry.

The NALIP Media Summit 2022 serves to celebrate the convergence of media and the inclusion of Latine narratives as one within the general market. As the industry shifts, NALIP strives to examine and explain how Latine content creators can be proactive. We hope to continue pushing Latine stories within the industry by giving them the right tools, the most up-to-date knowledge, and industry professionals' connections. Most importantly we seek to have more Latine people in front of the camera and behind the scenes to broaden the stories told through media.
