We are thrilled to announce that Freestyle Media has acquired the streaming rights to American Homeboy, a tremendous documentary, produced by Brandon Loran Maxwell and Chela Media. You can read about it here.
“I am incredibly proud of how Brandon has brought this project to reality,” said Peter Horan of HMTA. “He has demonstrated great talent as a story teller”. HMTA invested in Chela Media in 2022 following their success at the Bend Venture Conference. We are proud to co-invest with our partners at Portland Seed Fund.
The film tells the story of Chicano and lowrider culture in the mid-20th century. It has played to packed houses in movie theaters across America and is being used as the basis of university courses. It has a rating of 9.3 on IMDB and 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Amazingly, the trailer for the movie has more than 2 billion views on TikTok.
In addition, Daily Chela has a website and newsletter that regularly comments on politics, culture and news affecting the Mexican American community.
