Fanny and Nelson Grande, both actors and producers, saw a need for independent filmmakers struggling through the difficult and sometimes demoralizing process of funding a project, filming it and getting distribution. Their shingle, Avenida, gets in on the ground floor, offering clients guidance in crowdfunding and its management, pre-production, production and post, distribution and marketing, and focuses on Latino, women and LGBTQ-plus creators, underrepresented voices that they advocate for with a lot of energy and enthusiasm.
