A support network to advocate, promote and advance

 mainstream and Latino projects in English and Spanish

1st Annual Padrino & Madrina Awards 2014

As we wrap up 2014, we count our blessings. But as we embark on a new year we also take stock: where have we come from, where are we now, and where are we going in 2015? Heaven knows we can’t do it alone and in PRIME LATINO MEDIA we firmly believe in the power of networking and forging relationships to move forward. We know the power of having a “Padrino” and “Madrina” (Godfather & Godmother) in the industry. To that effect we highlight two individuals who on top of working successfully, they firmly believe in the artistic Latino community and supporting. No better way to kick off our prospects for 2015 in full Latino style ~ ¡Latinos Unidos!

David Zayas

Star of stage and screen, he was raised in the Bronx. He won raves as the terrifying and powerful prisoner Enrique Morales, from HBO's Oz. A longtime member of the LAByrinth Theater Company, he had his debut on Broadway in Nilo Cruz’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Anna in the Tropics. He was seen playing Ángel Batista in the hit Showtime series Dexter. He received the 2012 HOLA José Ferrer Tespis Award. This year alone he was in the TV series Saint George with George Lopez and Olga Merediz and recently in the breakout Fox TV series, Gotham playing the mobster, Sal Maroni. But what is most impressive about this performer is that in spite of the heights he has reached professionally, he has no qualms about acting in independent films by Latinos and first-time filmmakers. He believes that it keeps him current and immersed in innovation, as well as a belief in this is how we build community. He is a member of Latino artistic organizations believing in the power of support.

Sonia González-Martínez
A writer, director and editor, she has edited the documentaries Antonia Pantoja ¡Presente!, Soul Food Junkies, and Spies of Mississippi and two episodes of María Hinojosa's America by the Numbers for PBS. Her directing credits include the award-winning documentary feature Bragging Rights: Stickball Stories, on the history and players of the NYC game of stickball that aired nationally on PBS. She formed T&A Flicks, a comedy team with actress Tammi Cubilette and comedian Angelo Lozada, directing and writing comedy shorts. For 20 years she has been an activist working on anti-police brutality cases and she led a protest against the film The Perez Family, for casting non-Latinos in Latino roles, which inspired her to create Latinos for Positive Images (LPI) organizing panels between Latinos in media and the community to raise awareness of our collective power in media. She is co-founder of Chica Luna Productions, which was a multimedia organization dedicated to training young women of color in all aspects of video production and distribution. She was on the NY chapter and the national Board for the National Association of Latino Independent Producers (NALIP).
