We all understand the impact of audience demographics on box office success, correct? As you can read in this article, Latinx/Hispanic audiences are key drivers behind the success of these summer films. That's no surprise, given the numerous studies showcasing the economic power of this demographic across the US economy. Latinos are known for going to the movies in groups of family or friends and enjoying a variety of genres. This, in turn, boosts ticket sales and really shows the vital role of Hispanic/Latinx audiences in the entertainment industry. #mediaproduction #mediaandentertainment #Contentcreation #audiences

Sometimes in life, you’re right on time. 😃This is why, when we started down the road to create our IBC - International Broadcasting Convention Accelerator Project: ‘Digital Replicas and Talent ID: Provenance, Verification and New Automated Workflows’ - that we knew we had the chance to articulate a solution for a very real problem: fraudulent deepfakes and unauthorized usages of Name, Image, Likeness, and Voice (NILV) of public figures. Through legislation moves like these two bills, the stage is set for the industry to come together and work out the systems and methods of protecting talent with the “4 C’s” of Consent, Control, Credit, and Compensation.

William Joshua Drown's Initiative for a Safer California William Joshua Drown, CEO of Dripsydrown Films and Entertainment, has proposed a bold initiative to enhance public safety in California. His plan aims to disqualify all violent offenders from receiving benefits or aid from state, local, or federal government organizations. Additionally, the initiative seeks to implement a zero-tolerance curfew for all violent offenders in California, restricting their movement from 3 PM to 9 AM. Creating Safe Zones Around Vulnerable Areas A key aspect of Drown's initiative is the conditional release of predators, which includes a strict regulation that prevents them from residing within 2000 feet of any school, church, playground, daycare, retirement home, apartment complex, bus stop, park, monument, or any other public or religious gathering place. This measure is designed to create safe zones around areas where vulnerable populations are present. Envisioning Los Angeles as a Haven for Angels The streets of Los Angeles are envisioned to become a place where angels can thrive, free from the fear of predators. Drown's initiative is aimed at 'effectively killing monsters' by establishing stringent measures that protect the innocent and deter potential offenders. A Call to Action for a Safer Community This initiative reflects William Joshua Drown's commitment to making California a safer place for all its residents. It is a call to action for the community to support measures that will ensure the safety and well-being of everyone, especially the most vulnerable among us. Join William Joshua Drown in his mission to transform California into a sanctuary where safety is a priority, and peace of mind is a given. Together, we can build a future where the streets are safe, and the community thrives.

If you're concerned about local news - anywhere - this article about California and the more informed attempts to arrest the incredible decline - 68% of journalists in CA lost since 2004, as well as 25% of newspapers; with total print news circulation down more than 50% - is a good place to start. Clear and precise, taking into account the importance of local news, the need for revenue to support it and ways of doing so that don't pit journalists against the tech platforms that might provide the source of funding: https://lnkd.in/eHjVEviH

Freedom of the press stands as a testament to a democratic society's commitment to transparency, accountability, and the pursuit of truth. However, in many developing nations, the lack of adequate protections for journalists has created an environment where facts are withheld, prejudices prevail, and the legacy of press freedom remains elusive. This article delves into the significance of safeguarding freedom of the press, the consequences of its absence, and the urgent need for enhanced protections for journalists in these regions. A free press holds immense power, serving as a guardian of truth by challenging power structures and exposing injustices. It acts as a voice for the marginalized, holding governments and institutions accountable. Journalists, through their reporting free from prejudice or bias, play a vital role in shaping public opinion and facilitating informed decision-making processes. However, the absence of proper safeguards places this sacred duty at risk. When journalists are unable to report truthfully, the consequences are far-reaching. The absence of a free press allows misinformation, propaganda, and falsehoods to proliferate, eroding public trust and distorting the collective understanding of events. Without accurate reporting, corruption thrives, human rights abuses go unchecked, and societies suffer from the lack of critical discourse necessary for progress. The consequences of suppressing the press thus extend beyond the realm of journalism to the very fabric of society. In many developing nations, journalists face an array of challenges that impede their ability to report freely and objectively. Intimidation and violence are prevalent, with journalists often facing threats, physical attacks, and even assassination attempts when exposing corruption or highlighting societal issues. Legal constraints, such as outdated or repressive laws like sedition or defamation statutes, are weaponized against journalists, leading to self-censorship and a chilling effect on freedom of the press. Furthermore, journalists are left exposed to harassment, surveillance, and prosecution due to the inadequacy of weak or corrupt institutions in providing sufficient protection. Additionally, economic pressures, including financial loss, limited job security, and resource scarcity, pose challenges for journalists in maintaining their independence and resisting external influences. Their lives are precious and powerful in delegations and justics. Protecting press freedom in developing nations requires immediate action, including legal reforms, strong institutions, capacity building, and promoting a culture of respect for journalism. These efforts, along with international support, will create a safer environment for journalists and preserve press freedom. The absence of protection and rights for journalists in developing countries is indicative of a nation being classified as a third world country.

Heard It on the Radio By Migdia Chinea, Ciboney Productions To: Mildred Garcia Chancellor, California State Universities I recently heard on the radio that the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives are being rebranded into something called “Inclusion Excellence.” On the surface, this sounds like a positive shift — a nod toward a merit-based approach where qualifications are valued, and real-world results matter. But behind the new name lies the same frustrating reality: talent is still being left behind, and the conversations around “inclusion” continue to feel more like empty rhetoric than actual progress. In my experience, the problem with DEI — or “Inclusion Excellence” — is that while it’s theoretically about leveling the playing field, it often seems disconnected from outcomes. The system is designed in such a way that those in charge of these initiatives are often more concerned with checking boxes than they are with real results. It’s the people benefiting from these structures, pulling a paycheck to run these programs, who seem to fade into the background, leaving women like me struggling to access real job opportunities. I’ve been out of a commensurate job for years, despite a background in television writing and production. I’ve earned my place in the industry through hard work, talent, and perseverance. Yet the notion of job access through merit-based processes feels distant when you’re constantly being condescended to or ultimately ignored by the very people who are supposed to be making things more “inclusive.” This issue hits especially close to home when I think about my personal financial situation. Just recently, I received a staggering GWP utility bill of $1,482.86. To make matters worse, my inconsiderate tenant, whose utilities are included in the rent, has run up this bill without any thought to the consequences. This scenario perfectly illustrates my broader frustration with systems that claim to offer inclusion but ultimately push the burden onto others — in this case, pushing women like me to the point of making negative decisions about their health, finances, and well-being. While I struggle to make ends meet and pay my huge utility bill, the state universities and other institutions are still leaving talent like mine behind. There’s a disconnect between the policies they preach and the realities of boots on the ground. Please, call me because I have real ideas to share based on my experiences. Unlike the DEI ladies at CSUN, I’m not going to charge you for them. With great respect and admiration — Migdia Chinea Ciboney Productions (818) 590-6439 f #csun #GCC #ucla #DEI

Can be saved if local and state politicians prioritize changing the current tax credit structure and do a competative increase across all levels. Our government leaders need to act now, though.

So many TV actors and producers are looking for a paying role. I say, "Create your own!" Hollywood has its priorities backward and paying the price now. Most TV shows are created to make money, others tell stories. We've created a new scripted TV show with a unique, creative drama/com called, "Dad Downstairs" that does both. Our format easily solves the four factors of control, distribution, funding, and creativity. We provide qualified partners with a unique opportunity to create, film, and distribute their show in their city or country! Imagine having your own show, with our support! Imagine a TV show with REAL LIFE situations, that millions of parents and families face, where EACH city has their cast and crew and YOU are the Executive Producer in that city! Family drama, a spice of humor, and different casts in each market worldwide! That is the formula for "Dad Downstairs". The new drama com features a divorced couple, raising their children, each living in a duplex in the same house! Most TV shows portray divorced couples in sitcoms, often at the expense of the ex-wife. Few portray the challenges divorced couples face; raising their children, and trying to heal from hardship and trauma. Most use one parent or the other as a scapegoat to create humor. Cast yourself in the lead role, and choose your cast, crew, and scripts! Invite the mayor or governor for a cameo role. Get the city tourism and local merchants involved. CREATE JOBS in your city or state, and be a show co-creator of a hit TV series! We are looking for EPs in EVERY city and we offer D2C streaming. We created ``Dad Downstairs`` for worldwide distribution. Think of "Real Housewives," and how that concept flourished and is in 21 markets now. This show concept has a broader appeal to a wider demographic worldwide! We offer a 90% revenue stream in your market AND help with marketing and distribution from the 10% share we retain, all with a nominal license fee. Each EP in that market can create their script, cast and crew, union or non-union, film, edit, and finish as many episodes as they desire. We offer a marketing platform where they can receive income, ``direct to consumer`` (D2C) the first week the show is done and downloaded! Each EP has its dashboard to monitor their income stream and can even allocate a percentage of the income in that market to investors, sponsors, partners, or supporters. They too get their dashboard to keep track of their earnings! The best part is you can withdraw your money any time you wish, every DAY if you want! That is your choice. Every market of ``Dad Downstairs`` has a different cast and crew. Remember, YOUR script will differ from ours. See our pitch deck/trailer video https://lnkd.in/g8hEKDxC For more details, see https://lnkd.in/gFm8QH8G Contact us for a discussion to become an EP in your area.
