Congrats to all the Visionary Fellows and every actor bringing these stories to life. This initiative is more than a program. It’s a real investment in disabled artists and the stories we’ve been waiting to tell.
18.06.2025 22:56 — 👍 6 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Screenshot of a Variety article excerpt. The article describes the film "Bembé" by Ferrer, which follows a bandless Merengue bandleader navigating the 1980s Latin Music scene in New York. It emphasizes the theme of needing others to succeed. The film, set to shoot in Hancock Park, stars Rafael Castillo, Lex Lumpkin, Vico Ortiz, Nathaly Navarro, Mauro Castillo, Fernando Huc, and Carlos El Grande.
Two behind-the-scenes photos from the set of the film Bembé. The top image shows members of the cast and crew posing together indoors. From left to right: Mauro Castillo in a security guard uniform, Vico Ortiz in a patterned dress shirt, Fernando Huc in a white suit, Rafael Castillo in a blue shirt, writer/director Zayre Ferrer wearing a face mask and green coveralls, Nathaly Navarro holding a script, and Lex Lumpkin holding a trumpet. The bottom image features Carlos El Grande in a silver suit, performing on stage with La Orquesta Bembé—including a bassist, pianist, and percussionist—against a sparkling red curtain. Film equipment is partially visible in the foreground.
I’m so damn proud of this cast: Carlos, Fernando, Lex, Mauro, Nathaly, Rafael, Vico.
Thank you for showing up with your whole selves and making this film sing!

Behind the scenes on the set of the short film BEMBÉ, with Director of Photography Daniel Patterson operating a camera. He and the crew are capturing a bar scene, framed by red ventilation pipes and checkerboard flooring.
Thank you to everyone who so generously shared their space, their wisdom, and their time with us. Bembé couldn’t have happened without your kindness.

Behind the scenes on the set of the short film BEMBÉ. The director, Zayre Ferrer, watches a trumpet player’s, Alex J Sherman, close-up on a monitor under red stage lights. The director is seated wearing a mask, surrounded by cables and equipment, fully focused on the screen.
On the set of the short film BEMBÉ, two people, Zayre Ferrer and Vico Ortiz, smile for the camera. One wears a mask, glasses, and a green jumpsuit, holding a cane. The other sports a colorful patterned shirt and turquoise pants, radiating joy. Crew and equipment are visible in the background.
A quiet moment captured on the set of the short film BEMBÉ, before filming began. Two people, Zayre Ferrer and Yvonne Zima, sit on a red carpeted floor, gathered around a glowing lamp, with a low ceiling overhead. The scene feels warm and intimate, yet is not part of the film itself.
Overjoyed to be working with these hilarious bits of gorgeousness again— @alexjsherman.bsky.social , @vico-ortiz.bsky.social & Yvonne Zima.

When someone crosses my mind, whether I dream about them or if it’s just been a while, I reach out.
A small hello. A little love.

Digital poster advertising a casting call for the project "BEMBE," supported by the Inevitable Foundation’s Visionary Fellowship.

No babies were harmed in this "dream sequence," but a cackle was cackled. #Insecure

This is my favorite part:
Insecure let us be young and foolish. Falling in love, making mistakes but growing all the while. It let us be exquisitely human.
This is my favorite part:
I just love her!
