El Rey Unveils The People’s Network Digital Platform

AUSTIN: Robert Rodriguez’s El Rey Network has created a new digital platform, The People's Network, to allow creators, makers and fans to showcase their creative talents.

El Rey is kicking off the multiplatform initiative with a special promotion, The Epic Summer Movie Contest, in partnership with Corona Extra. Users are invited to submit their designs for the ultimate movie poster; the winning artist will be featured in an original vignette both on-air and online.

Rodriguez, founder and chairman of El Rey Network, said: “I am honored to be able to provide such an incredible platform for makers and jumpstart their careers with such an innovative challenge. When I started out, I didn't have this kind of support and by mentoring artists through The People’s Network, I have a chance to give back.”
