	Tercer Impacto "Live" at El Museo del Barrio (2010) (Opening for Guillermo Gómez-Peña) Barbi Bermúdez and Fabi Fernández came all the way from Mundovisión in Florida to report on the "fantasmic" art exhibit, Phantom Sightings, and to conduct an exclusive interview with The Border Brujo, Leader of the Great Mojado Invasion...

	Tercer Impacto: Hispanacea (2009) Immigrant Latina women—who have had little or no access to education or health care—are living longer than anyone else in the United States. The New York Times has called this phenomenon "The Hispanic Paradox." What if Latinas' longevity could be extracted from their bodies and marketed as a health supplement to the public at large? Find out on the hard-hitting news show, TERCER IMPACTO, as Barbi Bermúdez and Fabi Fernández report on the new craze in energy supplements, HISPANACEA: Your Fountain of Youth. Feel the force that is sweeping the nation! see production stills here
	Operation Blue Blood (2005) During the first week of September 2005, as we watched the footage of Hurricane Katrina victims stranded on rooftops for days on end, crowded into the Convention Center and Superdome with no food or water, ignored by FEMA and the Bush Administration, we asked ourselves—as did many, many people—"What if the hurricane had hit a wealthy area instead? What if those affected hadn't been mostly poor (or "underprivileged anyway", as Barbara Bush said)?"...
	Amnezac (2005) Do you feel anxiety about world events you cannot change? Are your political concerns interfering with your patriotic activities, like shopping and paying taxes? Does the Iraq war remind you of US invasions of Latin American countries, including your own? You may be suffering from Historical Memoritis. Ask your doctor about Amnezac: The Most Powerful Anti-Historiamine on the Market. Versión con subtítulos en español
	Lupe & JuanDi from the Block (2003) Inspired by La Virgen de Guadalupe, San Juan Diego, and Nuestra Señora de J-Lo, this music video was created to answer burning questions, such as: What's up with these designer Virgen de Guadalupe jeans?, How come El Indio Juan Diego became a white man for his saintly Vatican image?, Is the Pope concerned about losing the Latino market?, and Are we fooled by the props G-Loop's got? Is she, is she, Lupe from the Block?
	Latino Plastic Cover (2000) When our abuelitas cover their couches, their lamps, their TV sets—todo!—in clear plastic, what are they trying so desperately to protect? Our first project together, Latino Plastic Cover is a mock cable access commercial for the ultimate all-purpose product, guaranteed not only to keep dust off your muebles, but to solve all kinds of social ills affecting the Latino community & beyond. Discover the luxury of freedom!

	Doña Cuca from Tercer Impacto: Hispanacea is in loooove with Mr. T. She makes little collages declaring her undying love (he's never responded), and has even written a love bachata for him she hopes to put on "el yutub". Click here to listen to the song, read the lyrics, and see her cucA-TEAMa collage!
	Lupe & JuanDi from the Block—listen to the song and read the lyrics. (2003) G-Loop: "So big deal if my face is on a wok I'm still, I'm still Lupe from the Block. I don't mind the keychains and the flowerpots. No matter where I'm sold, I know where I came from"... JuanDi: "Don't be fooled by the white skin I got, I'm still, I'm still JuanDi from the Block. Used to be an indio, and now I'm not! No matter where I go, I know where I came from"...
	Along with the Lupe video, we crafted all kinds of products to be displayed at the first screening. These are Lupe's (aka G-Loop) capitalist fantasies.
