EXCLUSIVE: Strangelove creator Jorge Xolalpa has signed with Posh Talent Agency for commercial and theatrical representation.
The Mexican-American filmmaker is known as the creator of Prime Video queer Latino comedy-drama series Strangelove, which has been dubbed by critics as “The Latinx Sex and the City” thanks to its sharp wit, unapologetic exploration of love and identity, and on-screen representation.
He’ll next be directing Huehxolotl, an intense immigration thriller that unfolds in the heart of Los Angeles, shedding light on illegal deportations happening across the United States. It stars Maya Zapata, Elyfer Torres, Katherine Castro and Alexander James Rodriguez, and follows an undocumented Mexican woman and restaurant owner whose asylum petition is denied, leaving her with just 30 days to self-deport.
Pic is currently in pre-production and slated to begin filming in the summer 2025. Xolalpa and Alfredo Widman at Mighty Aphrodite Pictures are producing with finance from NYTA Film Group, as we revealed in March.
Xolalpa’s first feature film was Your Iron Lady, a personal drama inspired by his mother’s unpublished memoir.
He also serves as President and CEO of Mighty Aphrodite, which he founded with a mission to elevate underrepresented voices. The producer has made films such as Valentina (2017) and MELANCOLiA (2021), and will release Lolita this year. Xolalpa is developing a television adaptation of ‘La Casa De Los Secretos’, a novel by María De Lourdes Victoria, in collaboration with Palomera Group.
Xolalpa continues to be represented by Palomera Group for writing, directing, and producing.
