Jacob Koestler– Latin Clowns Evolution
In this feature-length documentary by Jacob Koestler and Michael McDermit, a group of immigrant clowns from Mexico and Central America gather in Los Angeles for their annual Congreso, a weeklong event where they teach over 100 Latinx performers the multifaceted art of clowning, share their personal journeys, and spread joy in what feels like a giant family reunion. The project includes multiple Cuyahoga County artists and will premiere in Cleveland alongside live performances in 2025.
