Avenida the first 100% Latino-owned movie studio in Hollywood!

Support at: wefunder.com/avenida

The world of filmmaking has historically been dominated by major studios and established filmmakers, leaving little room for underrepresented voices to tell their stories. However, a revolution is underway, as Latino independent producers are harnessing the power of crowdfunding to bring their unique narratives to the silver screen. Crowdfunding has become a vital tool for Latino filmmakers, empowering them to create powerful, diverse, and impactful films.  Avenida Entertainment Group, Inc. is taking their crowdfunding effort to a whole new level.  They are crowdfunding to raise money to help indie filmmakers create their independent films and to launch a streaming platform where they can also distribute the films of Latino independent filmmakers.

Avenida Entertainment Group, Inc. is sharing an opportunity to be a part of something that not only represents Latino roots but also the future of U.S. Latinos. Avenida has launched a wefunder.com/avenida campaign.  With an impeccable record of supporting filmmakers, Avenida has now been in business for seven years, providing solutions for Latino filmmakers to get their projects funded and produced. Soon they will be launch an English language streaming platform where US Latinos can stream their films, TV project, podcasts and more.

The Latino voice, stories, and perspectives have long been underrepresented in mainstream media. Yet, the rich tapestry of the Latino experience, the vibrant culture, and their unwavering spirit deserves a platform that does justice to their narrative. As Nelson Grande and Fanny Grande, the two principals of Avenida say, “The time has come to rise, unite, and be part of the change we wish to see in the media landscape.”

The new CNN+ series is a new iteration of the CNN Original Series Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy . Longoria’s six-part series will be produced by RAW, the same film and television company behind the Emmy winning Searching for Italy. 
 
Many of Longoria’s fans know she is an avid foodie and loves to cook. She is famous for her guacamole recipe, which she has shared on video on her social media and on several TV shows. Her book Eva’s Kitchen: Cooking with Love for Family and Friends was released in 2011 featuring many of her Mexican food recipes. 

Mexican food is loved the world over and in this series Longoria will be the one to take viewers to Mexico where she will highlight the food and also tell the story of a culture and people who are deeply connected to the land and spirit of their country.

Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico will follow Longoria as she travels to Mexico exploring one of the most popular, global cuisines. From harvesting blue agave for tequila as the Aztecs once did, to slow cooking traditional mole sauce in Oaxaca, Longoria will travel to the vibrant regions of Mexico to reveal their unique and colorful cuisines.
 
“Partnering with CNN on a culinary driven expedition throughout Mexico is a dream come true,” said Longoria. “I am so proud of my Mexican-American roots and can’t wait to bring the hidden gems of Mexico to the world through Searching for Mexico.” She added, “I am a huge fan of Stanley’s journey throughout Italy; he set the bar high, and I can’t wait for everyone to fall in love with the magic of Mexico.” Longoria is a Daytime Emmy Award-winning and Golden Globe-nominated actress.

“Eva’s passion for Mexico and its culture and cuisine are a natural follow up to Stanley’s trip through Italy,” said Amy Entelis, executive vice president for talent and content development for CNN Worldwide. “We are thrilled she will take her journey on CNN+.”
 
Longoria is also one of the executive producers for Searching for Mexico along with Ben Spector and Stanley Tucci with RAW’s Tom Barry, Eve Kay and Jess Orr; Kate Leonard-Morgan is head of production. Amy Entelis and Lyle Gamm are the executive producers for CNN Original Series. Jon Adler is supervising producer for CNN Original Series. Season two of Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy is slated to air on CNN in Spring 2022.
 
Longoria is represented by WME, Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Jackoway Austen Tyerman Wertheimer Mandelbaum Morris Bernstein Trattner & Klein.
