Eva Longoria has sent a strong message to Hollywood, and that is that he believes that this industry “it’s nowhere near equal” when it comes to directing.
The actress and also director worked behind the camera for the first time during the filming of ‘Flamin Hot’, although she points out that there are very few opportunities available for women to follow in their footsteps.
“One in 10 directors is a woman. We’re nowhere near equal and it is still a challenge for women to have the opportunity to direct”, Longoria confessed during an interview with the British magazine ‘Grazia’.
“If I’m directing, I want to know exactly what I’m doing. I feel most confident when I’m educated, whether I’m on set or speaking to an audience about immigration or women’s rights. That makes me feel powerful.”he added.
‘Flamin Hot’ is a movie available on Disney+ and is based on the life of Richard Montanez, who created the ‘Flamin Hot Cheetos’ in 1992.
“Today it is a billion dollar brand. His story is complex, interesting and inspiring.; It’s a feel-good movie,” Longoria claimed.
Eva has always taken advantage of the spaces to send messages of perseverance and perseverance to her fans, as she did in a behind-the-scenes report on ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “This story resonated with me because this story is my story. It is not the desire to have more, but to be more. It’s not just being the underdog, or a rags-to-riches story. This is a story about when people underestimate you, not just as a person, but as a community.”

But that is what Montañez, a son of Mexican migrants raised in California, lived through.
The key point in his incredible rise, as Montañez has recounted in books, interviews, and motivational lectures, was the invention of the spicy version ofthe aperitif Cheetos, call Flamin’ Hot.
A Latino flavor, or more specifically Mexican, that has conquered the taste not only of that community, but of others in the United States and foreign markets where the product arrives.
