Los Angeles Barea shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Los Angeles, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What are you chasing, and what would happen if you stopped?
This year has been an amazing journey for me.
My film GREEN SUPERHEROES 2030 has made a global impact, with 15 awards and 30 nominations — far beyond what I could have imagined.
At the heart of it all is one question:
“What am I chasing?”
I’m chasing a better future for our planet— one that’s more sustainable, more conscious, and more compassionate.
A world where our children can grow up with clean air, clean water, and a planet free of plastic and pollution.
I’m chasing change.
Through storytelling, education, and action, I’m committed to doing everything I can to make a real difference.
This is just the beginning — and I won’t stop.My name is Los Angeles Barea, and I am an independent filmmaker..
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Los Angeles Barea and i am the CEO of Sinamor Films, and now Green SuperHeroes Movement non profit to keep spredding our message helping youth environmental projetcs around the world.
—Our vision is committed to using the power of cinema to spark change, inspire imagination, and highlight urgent global themes. Based in the vibrant cultural crossroads of Los Angeles, our work blends Hollywood-level storytelling with grassroots authenticity and purpose. We are working with countries from all around thw world.
One of our flagship projects is Green SuperHeroes 2030, now available on AMAZON PRIME VIDEO,a bold, creative movement that brings climate action and sustainability into the superhero genre. It’s not just a film or a series—it’s a global message wrapped in adventure, action, and hope. Our green superheroes fight not just villains, but pollution, apathy, and environmental injustice, all while empowering communities and young minds to be the real heroes of tomorrow. They have real human powers.
What makes us unique? We’re building a universe that reflects our reality—a world facing climate change, inequality, and rapid transformation. Through compelling narratives, diverse characters, and a commitment to representation and education, we aim to entertain while igniting real-world impact. The project won 15 awards world wide and 30 nominations and is also heading in November to the biggest sustainability Film Festival in the world BIG SYN in London.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
“The moment that shaped the way I see the world was having my daughter.”
As a woman in a world still largely dominated by men, becoming a mother gave me a new sense of purpose and perspective. When my daughter, Katia Thomas, was just six years old, she looked up at my mother and asked, “Can you help me save the planet?” That simple, powerful question changed everything for me.
It led me to start researching—and what I discovered was alarming. A Stanford study showed that 80% of children are deeply worried about climate change, and 60% are affected to the point of needing mental health support. That was the moment my mindset shifted. I knew I had to do something.
I decided to help and empower youth—not through fear, but with a positive message. And with the help of my daughter Katia, who is now an environmentalist herself, we created this documentary. She is featured in the film and continues to inspire me every day.
I also want to highlight the incredible young environmentalists featured in the documentary who are making a real difference around the world:
Ryan Hickman – Founder of Ryan’s Recycling
Nina Gomes – Brazil’s youngest ocean defender
Justin Sather – Environmental advocate and frog conservationist
Sam Torres – Youth climate leader
Jessica Ong – Eco-activist from Thailand
Kyle Tianshi – Inventor and clean air advocate
Connor Berryhill – Founder of MicroActivist
Janeth Guanulema – Indigenous voice from the Amazon Rainforest
Ianna Mallayka-Founder of Ianna Mallayka Foundation Kenya.
Zachary Fox-Devol – Sustainability youth leader
Dvil Gil,Madeiya Flory – Our inspiring documentary host
This film is more than a documentary—it’s a movement of youth rising up for the planet. With their voices and actions, they are shaping a brighter, greener future.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
I believe we are living in a difficult world right now—marked by war, climate crises, divided countries, and conflicting ideologies. Probably no one has an “easy” life anymore. We all face struggles, no matter where we come from or who we are.
But there are always people facing even greater challenges—like the orphans I’m helping in Uganda, who sleep on the floor and often go days without food. Helping them made me realize just how much I have, how much we all take for granted. Compared to them, my life is full of luxury.
And that realization made me stronger.
If the world could come together—for a cleaner planet, for peace, and for equality—would that be a utopia? Maybe.
But I want to believe it’s possible.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
I used to admire rock stars and actors—but not anymore.
Today, my real heroes are the young people who are shaping the world, making it greener and safer for future generations.
They have superhuman powers—not the kind you see in movies, but the kind that changes the world. They fight for a livable planet, for peace, and for justice. They are creating incredible projects and movements, and that’s why I named my film Green Superheroes 2030.
These youth are my heroes.
They are my inspiration.
I admire them deeply—for their environmental work and for their commitment to peace. We all know that war is not the solution.
I also want to honor the great David Attenborough, and the late Mattie Stepanek—a young poet and peacemaker whose words moved the world. And of course, the legendary Dr. Jane Goodall—may she rest in peace—who fought for the planet and empowered youth until her very last day.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I believe everything I stand for is reflected in my films. Through every story I tell, every young voice I amplify, and every frame I capture, I’m sharing the values that define who I am and what I hope to leave behind.
When I’m no longer here, I don’t want to be remembered for fame or success, but for something much deeper:
For my love—for young people, for the planet, for my daughter, and for the belief that a better world is possible.
I want to be remembered as someone who cared deeply and acted boldly. Someone who saw the pain in the world but chose to respond with hope, with action, and with a positive vision for the future. Someone who believed that storytelling can be a powerful tool for change, and that youth are not just the leaders of tomorrow—they’re the heroes of today.
I have fought, and will continue to fight, for a cleaner, greener, more peaceful world. For equality. For unity. For a future where all children—no matter where they’re born—can dream, grow, and live in a safe, thriving planet.
That’s the legacy I hope to leave:
A trail of inspiration.
A movement of empowered youth.
And a story of love, purpose, and the unwavering belief that together, we can change the world.
