EP 44 "Achieving representation en la industria del entretenimiento" with Nelson Grande (Avenida Entertainment Group)

Que onda raza! This week I sat down and had a drink with Nelson Grande, the President and co-founder of Avenida Entertainment group. Nelson empezó su carrera en el entrenamiento como actor y aunque su carrera llevaba buen momentum, he soon realized that people Hollywood tends to cast latinos mostly for stereotypical roles.  Nelson didn't like what was happening in Hollywood, so he decided to move away from being an actor to launch Avenida Entertainment Group with his wife Fanny Grande. Together they have the mission of opening puertas a proyectos latinos and supporting the representation la comunidad latina deserves in the industry. Con Nelson hable acerca de su vida como hijo de inmigrantes, del momento tan importante que estamos teniendo los Latinos en Estados Unidos, about the importance of representation in the entertainment industry, and about the disadvantage latinos face to raise funds for their your projects through venture capital investments.
