NALIP has helped progress the careers of countless directors, writers, and producers of the largest ethnic minority of the United States, advocating for their works to be featured more in mainstream media. However, you may still be unsure of how this may be possible for you. Perhaps you are looking for more than just attending our workshops and panels. Take the plunge and apply to this year’s Latino Media Market! While you may be afraid of taking the next step, the reward and experience will be worthwhile!

UNIVERSO, is set to premiere season three of the hit celeb-reality “The Riveras” starring Chiquis, Jacqie, and Mike, Jenicka and Johnny, Sunday, March 11th at 10pm /9C. The 14-episode season offers viewers a lens into the lives of the children of the late Regional Mexican music legend, Jenni Rivera as they take on life’s challenges by supporting each other. The top rated show is the only English-language reality about a Hispanic family in the U.S. and its relatability has been the key to the show’s success. “The Riveras” reflects the diversity in this country, and the fastest growing population.

A grassroots movement among female directors has quickly taken hold, with dozens of female directors taking to Twitter to post images of themselves on set with the hashtag #FemaleFilmmakerFriday.
