For the past couple of years, producer Simone Kirlew has been a steady creative force behind the Youth Cinema Project Alumni Fellowship films, serving as producer mentor for the program’s last two alumni productions while acting as a vital link between the Latino Film Institute and each production team. Beyond nurturing the fellows’ creative vision, she oversaw the coordination that allowed each film to come to life, managing logistics, schedules, and on-the-ground production needs with precision and care.
For Miguel Angel Caballero, storytelling has always been about community, both the one he comes from and the one he is helping build. As producer mentor for the 2026 YCP Alumni Fellowship, he brings more than 15 years of experience producing, writing, and directing films that move audiences while opening doors for others to step behind the camera.
