MACLA Studio

MACLA Studio Empowering Latinx, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and women to tell their stories for a more inclusive, just and equitable society. Media Matters!

At MACLA Studio we believe media matters. We strive to create polished, powerful, and authentic media for socially conscious clients, while training and employing Latinx, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, women and youth, who have traditionally been underrepresented in the field of media production. We believe that people are empowered when they see their stories reflected in the media and all people should have the

opportunity to tell their unique stories. Through creative workshops, hands-on skill building and mentorship, MACLA Studio will inspire creativity and instill confidence in youth in our community, empowering them with skills to navigate school, career, and life.
