Dallas, Texas The South by Southwest (SXSW) red carpet at the Paramount Theatre will include celebrities traveling to Austin. “Flamin’ Hot,” a new movie, will be released this summer for a variety of factors.
The movie, starring “Gentefied’s” Annie Gonzalez as Richard Montanez’s wife Judy and Jesse Garcia as the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos originator, marks actress and filmmaker Eva Longoria’s feature directorial debut.
The movie is based on the true story of Montanez, a Frito-Lay janitor who was motivated to invent Flamin’ Hot Cheetos by his Mexican American roots. Also, according to Deadline, co-creator of “Gentefied” Linda Yvette Chavez joined the project to make changes to Lewis Colick’s screenplay.
“It surprised me that I had so much confidence coming into this, and that confidence showed up in every way with who I hired and who I passed. And then, you know, who we use for music. And it just trickles down to everybody participating and making an amazing movie,” Longoria said.
Garcia is well-known for his part in “Quinceaera,” which won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. Moreover, he appears in the films “Under the Same Moon,” “Narcos: Mexico,” “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series,” and “The Avengers.”

“Eva and I get along. I can’t even pretend to talk trash about Eva. We get along so well that the second we started working together was, we were on the same page, like we’re two people cut from the same cloth,” Garcia said.
“So, was it easy? We could almost look at each other and I go, ‘OK, I got it. I know what you want.'”
Gonzalez’s acting credits include “Vida,” “Shameless,” “East of the Mountains,” and “Good Girls,” in addition to her starring part in the second season of Netflix’s “Gentefied.”
On Hulu, the film will make its debut on June 9.
