Longoria looked stunning at the screening in a pastel pink jumpsuit. The toned star happily smiled for her directorial debut. She has been passionate about her debut and has called out double standards. “The problem is if this movie fails, people go, ‘Oh, Latino stories don’t work … female directors really don’t cut it.’ We don’t get a lot of at-bats,” she told Variety. “A white male can direct a $200 million film, fail and get another one. That’s the problem.”
