MIAMI, FL \u2013 January 18, 2017 \u2013 (HISPANICIZE WIRE) \u2013 A new entertainment industry alliance aims to help Latino talent grow their careers. Hispanicize<\/a>, creators of the nation\u2019s largest gathering for Latino trendsetters and media entrepreneurs, in partnership with the Latino Filmmakers Network are coming to the Sundance Film Festival to present the panel discussion, Latino Horizons: Sustaining Your Career After the Festivals<\/strong>. Despite the contributions and history of the Latino community in the United States, there is still a lack of Latino representation and stories in Hollywood. <\/p>\n

Presented by SAG-AFTRA and sponsored by MIB Insurance Services and Cafe Machu Picchu, the panel discussion accompanied by a networking mixer, will spotlight Latino talent featured at the festival. The event, which counts on the participation of filmmakers, industry executives, agents and the entertainment community, will take place on Monday, January 23, 2017 at 3 P.M. in Park City, Utah during the festival at the Power & Industry-Indie Lounge on Main St.<\/p>\n

\u201cHispanicize is excited to produce this forum and mixer celebrating Latino filmmakers and talent at this years\u2019 Sundance,\u201d said Calixto Chinchilla, Hispanicize Director of Filmed Entertainment. \u201cAfter our packed and well-received event last year, it was immediately clear we had to return. We\u2019re excited to renew our collaboration with the Latino Filmmakers Network in growing this event with the support of presenter SAG-AFTRA, MIB Insurance Services and Cafe Machu Picchu.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cOur growing presence in this signature initiative created by Maylen Calienes is all about bringing attention to under-represented Latinos in the film industry,\u201d said Manny Ruiz, founder of the Hispanicize platforms that include the annual Hispanicize event (April 3-6 in Miami), DiMe Media, the Hispanic PR Blog and Hispanicize Wire. \u201cThrough our own event, which is going on six years and other initiatives like this, Hispanicize has consistently demonstrated its commitment to showcasing the talents and evolution of Latino filmmakers everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to expand our relationship with Hispanicize, and proud of our continued support of the Latino Filmmakers Network at Sundance,\u201d said SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris. \u201cPart of SAG-AFTRA\u2019s mission is to foster equality of opportunity for all performers in the entertainment industry, so no matter where you come from, what language you speak or how you identify, you have a fair shot at an employment opportunity.\u201d <\/p>\n

Latino Filmmakers Network, whose mission is to expand the role of Hispanics in the industry by providing venues for them at the world\u2019s most prominent film festivals and in Los Angeles, will celebrate Latino filmmakers being recognized at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. These talented individuals will participate in a conversation, encouraging the inclusion of Latinos whose films have been selected by the festival and creating a nucleus of continuing support, community, education and knowledge.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe success of our event in the last two years\u2019 was proof that what we\u2019re doing is in demand and very important to Latino creators and talent,\u201d said Maylen Calienes, founder of Latino Filmmakers. \u201cWith Hispanicize\u2019s partnership we are once again in a strong position to host a networker that will significantly amplify Latinos presence at such a significant world gathering.\u201d <\/p>\n
