Do you have a project ready for financing or distribution? Do you have a great reality-TV idea/concept ready for cable network? Do you have a documentary project in production or post-production in need of finishing funds and distribution? Are you ready to meet with the Executives, Producers, and Funders that will help you accomplish your vision? Then, do not miss this opportunity to apply for a spot in NALIP's 2010 Latino Media Market!
The Latino Media Market™ began in 2005 with a simple goal: to bring NALIP members and their projects together with funders, studio executives, distributors, dealmakers, agents, and mentors. With the support of the NEA and CPB, we have introduced select producers to top executives from HBO Films, Warner Bros. Home Video, P.O.V./American Documentary, Universal, 20th Century Fox, Maya Pictures, Paramount, Showtime Networks, Focus Features, CPB, Univision Home Entertainment, SiTV, LATV, Women Make Movies, Payaso Entertainment Screengems, HBO Documentaries, Warner Brothers, and more.
Now in its sixth year, the Latino Media Market has surpassed that initial mandate and has supported more than 100 filmmakers and their projects, some of whom have gone on to get deals, funding, jobs, distribution, and invitations to film festivals around the world!
THE LATINO MEDIA MARKET will run concurrent with NALIP 2010 Conference April 9 - 11, 2010 in Santa Monica, CA. The Deadline to Apply is February 13 (postmarked) but why not get started on your application now?
Applications will be accepted in the following categories:
* Direct-to-DVD or low-budget film production
* Documentary work-in-progress
* Feature development project
* Non-scripted Television Series idea

Doing Your Doc: DIVERSE VISIONS, REGIONAL VOICES is coming to San Juan!
A Weekend Seminar to Make Your Documentary Happen
Feb. 5-7, 2010 in San Juan, Puerto Rico
If you took the trailer/sample tape workshop with story consultant Fernanda Rossi, the Documentary Doctor, you can now benefit from her invaluable workshop on story structure.

This intensive weekend workshop is right for you, whether you are just beginning a film, if you have already shot footage on a documentary project, or if you are already seeking finishing funds. “Doing your Doc” is designed especially for media makers in Puerto Rico, to develop your unique story. It prepares you to advance or complete you project, receive production funding and broadcast opportunities, or to apply for professional programs that expand your relationships and career.

Winner Announced for 2009 HBO/NALIP Documentary Filmmaker Cash Award
HBO has teamed with NALIP and found the next great Latino Documentary Film!
Social change has been the consistent undercurrent for HBO's critically acclaimed and award-winning documentary programs, with a myriad of issues presented in uncompromising quality and honesty. HBO created a new $10,000 cash award for Latino filmmakers in 2009, and launched it at our 10th national conference in April. The idea of this grant was for HBO to focus its lens on the Latino experience, and support the growth of social commentary by Latino documentarians. Films were judged based on the uniqueness of their topic/subject matter, the professional quality of the film, and the structure, tone and style planned for presenting the topic to an audience.
The winner of the 2009 HBO/NALIP DOCUMENTARY Latino Filmmaker Documentary Competition is LPA Fellow William Caballero! His film AMERICAN DREAMS DEFERRED is well on its way to be completed, and we wish him and the documentary the very best. Click here to view a sample tape for AMERICAN DREAMS DEFERRED from LPA 2008. We will let you know when the completed film is being broadcast and screened!
