The Explosion of
the Latino Entertainment Market
Who? What? Why and
Where Is It Going?
The demand for Latino/Hispanic market
focused entertainment product is exploding, with no signs of
slowing down.
This market may offer substantial
opportunities to counter L.A. County's "runaway
production" woes. "Hollywood" based mainstream film and
television content developers, production and post production
companies, distributors and syndicators may be overlooking
some of the most robust content demand opportunities residing
in our own backyard. Come hear the perspectives of leading
Latino entertainment, advertising and media professionals on
how L.A.'s entertainment industry community could catch up
with Miami and capitalize on this immediately accessible
audience, which is projected to reach nearly $1 trillion in
spending power by 2007. Moderating our panel of experts will
be Paula Parisi, the Editorial Director for Features, The
Hollywood Reporter. Panelists include:
* Ray Durazo, president of Durazo
Communications (a leading Latino-owned public relations firm)
and chair of the Latin Business Association
* Moctesuma Esparza, accomplished
feature and television film producer ("Mi Familia-My Family,
Selena")
* Santiago Ogradon, Executive Vice
President/McDonalds, Castells & Asociados (a leading
Latino advertising agency)
* Santiago Pozo, founder
and president, Arenas Entertainment (a leading Latino
production and distribution company)
* Andrew Thau, Chief Operating
Officer, VOY Network, the new Latino-themed English language
entertainment network.
