November 7, 2025

Brenda Victoria Castillo, President & CEO of NHMC & Actress and star of Amazon MGM Studios' Hedda, Tessa Thompson

The National Hispanic Media Coalition partnered with Amazon MGM Studios to host a Screening for the film, Hedda, written and directed by Nia DaCosta. After the film, Brenda Castillo moderated a special Q&A with the star of Hedda, Tessa Thompson.

Hedda is slated to be a reimagining of Ibsen’s classic work, and the official synopsis for the film reads: “Over the course of one charged night, long-repressed desires and hidden tensions erupt — pulling [Hedda] and everyone around her into a spiral of manipulation, passion, and betrayal. Ibsen’s electrifying play tells the story of a newly-married woman who finds herself bored with her current life and current situation, so she decides to manipulate a former lover into ending her life.
