“She was part of my existence as a Latino boy,” Moisés Zamora, head writer and executive producer for Netflix’s “Selena: The Series,' said. “I associated her with my family and being Mexican in America.”
“I associated her with my family and being Mexican in America.” he said in a phone interview with NBC News.
Zamora, who has worked as a staff writer on two other TV shows — the Emmy-winning series “American Crime” and “Star” on Fox, said he recognizes the pressure and anticipation around the Selena series. Zamora was born and raised in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. But when he was 11, his family moved to Loyalton, California and later, to the state's agricultural hub of Central Valley.Zamora’s father, a doctor, worked at a medical clinic where many of his patients were farmworkers.
“What was really wonderful about that job was that everything came full circle,” he explained. “The third season is about field workers in California — the abuse, exploitation, injuries," he said."I know that world really well."
