I am thrilled that by partnering with the NHFA, Fusion can provide both the opportunities and the platforms to showcase their work,” said Fusion CEO Isaac Lee. Lee also serves as Chief News and Digital Officer for Univision.
“NHFA looks forward to working with Fusion to both identify and tap into the power of the next generation of filmmakers through this ground breaking program. Our partnership provides a valuable and necessary opportunity to create original programming content that matters to the Latino community,” said NHFA Chairman and Co-founder Felix Sanchez.
NHFA and Fusion will begin accepting entries on January 11, 2016; entrants must submit written pitches by February 19.
