Vida is a really fresh look at a community we don’t get to visit often. Show-runner/executive producer Tanya Saracho (Looking, Girls) has brought us a glimpse of it in six episodes that are packed with drama, humor, friendship and love—and the cinematography is stunning (DP Carmen Cabana). I, for one, hope to see more episodes.

We had a chance to chat with Saracho and her lead stars; Melissa Barrera (Club de Cuervos), Mishel Prada (Fear The Walking Dead: Passage), Ser Anzoategui (East Los High), Chelsea Rendon (Bright), Carlos Miranda (The Bling Ring), and Maria Elena Laas (Vital Signs) about their experience working on this project. Check out the conversations. They were very lively, fun and very insightful about all the behind-the-camera talent.

Vida is a half-hour series focusing on two Mexican-American sisters from the Eastside of Los Angeles who couldn’t be more different or distanced from each other. Circumstances force them to return to their old neighborhood, where they are confronted by the past and surprising truth about their mother’s identity.

Vida, premiering May 6 on STARZ.
