Jessica Calderon

¡Hola! I am Jessica but my friends call me Jess and I am the proud creator of La Mexicana Cinema. I’m a first-generation Mexican American born and raised in Dallas, Texas. I graduated from Texas State University in 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Electronic Media. For the past three years, I have been working on my Master of Fine Arts degree in Documentary Production and Studies.

I have a background in social media, radio, television, and film production where I highlighted people, communities, and companies through visual storytelling. When I’m not creating graphics, conducting interviews, or editing videos you can find me on the couch with my two cats and dog.

Flor Rodarte-Calderon started a religious dance movement known as Los Matlachines in Dallas 27 years ago with the help of her sister Estela Calderon and her brother Esteban Calderon. The Calderon family tells their story of how Los Matlachines came about and the importance of keeping the tradition alive.
