With just one month to go before the 22nd Annual Hispanic Television Summit, new dynamic speakers like comedian, actor, writer and producer John Leguizamo are being added daily to the agenda for this leading annual event for those in the business of television for Hispanics in the U.S. and worldwide. This year’s theme is in response to the growing demand for improved on-screen representation of Latino voices, images, and within storylines.
Leguizamo’s session will focus on this point of how Latinos are reflected in television during a discussion about his new series American Historia, scheduled to premiere on PBS stations in September. Leguizamo is joined by producer Ben DeJesus of NGL Studios/mitu and Luis Ortiz, managing director of Latino Public Broadcasting.
