Description

#103 Rafael Austín wears a whole lotta hats in Hollywood.He's the CEO of the Latino Film Institute and oversees the Youth Cinema Project. He writes for TV and wrote a memoir, Illegally Yours, about growing up in L.A. and learning as a teenager that he was undocumented. Rafael got into theater at community college and then UCLA, where he wrote a play with his friends that toured the U.S. Then he hit the big time: he landed a job on a sitcom, Jane the Virgin. We talked to him about the writer's strike a few weeks ago (ep. 97) but he's got such an interesting story about how he got started in the biz, we had to bring him back. How I Got Started is a regular segment on this podcast where we feature different Angelenos who are shaking things up and doing cool things in the city. Check out the other installments.Guest: TV writer Rafael Augustín

How to L.A. aims to drop a little knowledge about ALL the things that affect the people of Los Angeles, whether that’s something that makes our city great (tacos!) or something that we need to work on, like the alarming number of traffic collisions. We serve the curious Angeleno who wants to better connect with our city, discover the new, navigate the confusing and even drive some change along the way.  Support for this podcast is made possible by Gordon and Dona Crawford, who believe that quality journalism makes Los Angeles a better place to live. This program is made possible in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation funded by the American people.
