Galan and HBO To Produce Latino Mobile Content

LOS ANGELES, September 21:
Galan Entertainment and HBO will be working together to create a series of 90-
to 120-second segments of mobile content geared to the Hispanic community.

The series of mini
telenovelas, entitled La Traductora
(The Translator), is about the
daily experiences of Carmen and her daughter Maribel. Like most children of
immigrants, Maribel is her mom’s professional translator. Every day, Carmen is
confronted with issues that require her to learn key phrases in English. The
vignettes will provide Latinos with relatable entertainment and information
that include their own “phone dictionary” containing key phrases in English,
which are essential for survival in the U.S.

“I started Galan
Entertainment launching new TV channels into Latin America,” says the the
company’s president, Nely Galán. “Now, we’re at the forefront of the digital
age, producing entertainment content for new platforms such as mobile phones
and iPods.”
