Sofia Yepes In the Yard OUT LOUD

On this episode of #LatinosOutLoud, Rachel La Loca invites Filmmaker, Actor, Producer and friend Sofia Yepes over to hang in the backyard to kick it and talk about Sofia's latest film "The Low End Theory". They chit chat about her projects, as well as motherhood, and the two brave gals bond on a very deep and emotional topic they speak very truthful about. “The Low End Theory” is an official selection of the New York Latino Film Festival, NVISION Latino Film Festival, and GuadaLAjara Film Festival 2024. It won ‘Best Ensemble Cast’ at the NVISION Latino Film Festival.   Check out the trailer for The Low End Theory ⁠HERE⁠   The neo noir crime thriller follows a traumatized vet turned ‘Raquel Pacheco’ (Sofia Yepes)  money launderer who steals from her drug-dealer boss ‘Ulysses’ (Eddie Martinez) to pay off debts owed by the beautiful but equally trouble woman ‘Giselle’ (Ser Anzoategui) with whom she is having an obsessive affair. The film brings to life representation for Queer people, Latinx artists, and single mothers to the screen.   The film also stars: Rene Rosado (ABC’s “The Conners”), Scotty Tovar (“Empire”), J.R. Villarreal (“Landman”) and Sidney Flanigan (award winning Focus Features “Never Rarely Sometimes Always”).   When not creating multi-dimensional projects in Hollywood, Sofia is equally committed to raising up the voices of single mothers and breaking societal norms. What started out as a podcast called ‘As a Mutha’ which grew from anger at the unfair expectations of single mothers, has expanded into a community called ‘Sana Sana Single Mama’ which now focuses on resources for healing for single mothers coming Summer 2025. Resources will include access to family lawyers, assistance with funds, therapy, retreats, and more. Sofia is also a certified Cacao Ceremony Specialist, engaging ancient Indigenous spiritual and healing practices.   Sofia currently resides in Los Angeles and is a single mother to her seven-year-old son, Phoenix.
