Cholita Takes L.A.

When a Cholita wrestler and fashionista from Bolivia is rushed off to East L.A. to reconnect with her ailing Abuela, she clashes with local mean girls, lands a fashion gig, and suplexes her way into the wildest, most heartwarming chapter of her life. ==================================== SYNOPSIS: Yoli, an 18-year-old Cholita wrestler and fashion designer, is pulled from her colorful life in her native Bolivia to visit her ailing Mexican-American Abuela in East Los Angeles. Armed with a sewing machine, a skateboard, and a whole lot of attitude, Yoli struggles to fit in with the tough Chicana girls on the block and navigate the culture shock of LA life. But through her vibrant designs and fearless wrestling spirit, she slowly earns the respect of her new community. When a showdown in the ring with her fiercest neighborhood rival turns into a surprising turning point, Yoli discovers that embracing her heritage—and her weirdness—might be precisely what this new world needs. A heartwarming, high-energy coming-of-age story about identity, legacy, and the power of fighting for who you are.✨ ==================================== 🎬 CAST: Alejandra Arce as YOLI (IG @ale.arcev) Leticia Bombardier as ABUELA (IG @leticia_bombardier__) Michelle Martinez as NAOMI (IG @mickiechronicles) Caleb Cruz as MANDO (IG @calebxcruz Isabella Feliciana as TERESA (IG @izzy_bee_ Jake Gomez as ALICIA (IG @jakegomez1989 Maribel Chavez as JESSICA (IG @maribel_chavez13 Estefani Pierola as MOM (IG @totallyestefani) Valentina Tammaro as HELEN (IG @ilikemayonaise) Gio Perez as LUCHADOR (IG @gioperezofficial) Miguel Perez as JOE Juan Carlos Escobar Lopez as REFEREE 💡 CREDITS: Created By: Manuel Ruiz-Barrera (IG @manuel.ruiz.barrera) Written & Directed By: Sylvia Ray (IG @sylbialin) Executive Producers: Manuel Ruiz-Barrera (IG @manuel.ruiz.barrera) Carlos Ponce (IG @poncecarlos1) Angela Sustaita-Ruiz (IG @texinmiami) Produced By: Johnny Murillo (IG @johnnylmurillo) Rameh Ali Echeverri (IG @rameh.ali.echeverri Efrain Gonzalez (IG @efraingonzalez07) Director of Photography: Abraham Martinez @abe.martinez.dp 1st AD and Stunt Coordinator: Giovanni Perez (IG @gioperezofficial) Casting Director and 2nd AD: Bethany Murillo (IG @bethhmurillo) Production Designer: Ignacio Medina (IG @ignacho.medina) Script Supervisor: Elena Ruiz Composer: Juan Carlos Enriquez (IG @juan.carlos.enriquez.composer) Editor: Dahae Lee (IG @haedaling Production By: Minivela (IG @minivelatv) Chicano Hollywood (IG @chicanohollywood) #ViralShorts #Minivela #MinivelaTV #Bolivia #DigitalShorts #Minidrama #Mininovela #ComediaRomántica #shortstories #DramaShorts #shortfilm #Cholita #LosAngeles ==================================== Follow our social media accounts and connect with us!
