go to original March 1, 2015

The recent international success of Mexican filmmakers is quickly drawing global attention to Mexican talent. And while not all Mexican-made flicks will make it to the big screen, Netflix wants to help more Mexican movies make it to the small screen.

The California-based company has announced a contest among 10 independently produced Mexican films for an opportunity to live for one year on Netflix’s international platform. Two films will take the top prize; Mexican viewers will select the first by voting for their favorite participating film on Facebook and Twitter, and a panel of Mexican actors, producers and filmmakers will select the second.

The remaining eight films will will be distributed on Mexico’s Netflix platform.
