For NATPE, High Noon Latino will take a broad range of projects in development, that span from a vehicle business that belongs to a Mexican-American family led by a woman in Texas, to a real estate business headed by an exaggerated character with an establishment in Los Angeles. We continue discovering fascinating characters and worlds with marvelous stories that are awaiting to be told, said to PRODU, Erika Navarrete, Senior Director of Development at High Noon Latino.She stated that the second season of Mexicánicos (6×60), which they co-produce with Drako Media for Discovery, was the number one show on TV in Spanish in its schedule. Its success affirms our creative instincts on what the audience finds compelling and gives us the momentum to pitch new talent-based projects. We couldnt be more proud of our partners at Drako Media who execute the show on the ground. She highlighted that the Hispanic and Latin American markets are still heavy on formats, but were seeing an increased demand in successful talent-based docu-realities like Mexicánicos. It excites us to see network executives asking for family docus, and character-based projects. Thats our sweet spot as storytellers.For 2016 they strive to be able to tackle the home-renovation segment, which is a genre they know very well due to the success of their show, Fixer Upper, from the anglo channel HGTV. I would love to bring a family based home renovation show to the Hispanic and Latin American market. Thats one of my plans for 2016. She announced that Sweet 15 Quinceañera (8×60) was sold to TLC. Were thrilled with our most recent sale, Sweet 15 Quinceañera (8×60) that was sold to TLC last year. Were currently in production and have been told it will air in 2016. Its our first Latin project to cross over into the general market. The cast and the stories are truly amazing. Weve got our fingers crossed for a hit!
