“Flamin’ Hot” Editor Kayla Emter Spices Up Eva Longoria’s Tasty Biopic

If you’re craving a feel-good underdog story with a kick, bite into Flamin’ Hot. The spicy Cheetos flavoring that has become a pop culture icon started with the passion of Mexican-American Frito-Lay janitor Richard Montañez (Jesse Garcia). Told from his sizzling perspective, Eva Longoria’s directorial debut is technically a biopic but has the DNA of a 90s snack commercial. It’s colorful, bursting with energy, and instantly addictive.

“Something we always kept track of is Richard and his energy and his excitement and his passion,” editor Kayla Emter explained.
