  • New Studio In Town! A Chat w/ Nelson Grande from Avenida Productions

    Nelson and Fanny Grande founded Avenida Productions after being fed up with the lack of opportunities for Latino creatives and deciding to create those opportunities themselves.  Since then Avenida has expanded to include their crowdfunding platform Support Our Stories which has raised millions in capital for Latino filmmakers and now they have a Wefunder campaign as they aim to expand and launch their streaming platform for Latino content.  


    Nelson stopped by for an awesome chat so please go follow them and support our studio!  

    After the interview we dove into the Barbie phenomenon and asked the question.  Is your partner liking or not liking or understanding Barbie a deal breaker???
    Should you break up with your significant other if they don't understand or don't like Barbie or maybe even if they like Barbie too much?
