Last summer, Julia Ahumada Grob and Yamin Segal, creators of the popular East WillyB web series took to kickstarter, hoping to raise 50K in 50 days to fund a new season. The media savvy producers took social media by storm, their funding campaign quickly became the buzz of the internet. As the deadline neared, the pledges came pouring in and they hit $50,000 with less than 24 hours to spare.
Thanks to the success of the kickstarter campaign and a fully funded budget, East WillyB is back with six new episodes starting today. Often compared to Cheers, the series centers on a Puerto Rican bar in Bushwick owned by Willie Jr. who is fighting to keep the gentrification of the neighborhood from creeping into his bar.
Willie (played by Flaco Navaja) inherited the bar from his dad and is fiercely protective of its “Latinoness.” He refuses to change anything even if it means losing out on business from the slew of hipsters who are slowly taking over the neighborhood. The rest of the characters are his friends, neighbors, and his ex, Maggie, who all drop by the bar regularly.
The new season opens with Willie mourning the loss of Maggie. Their relationship is over for good this time, she hooked with the whitetino Albert, his childhood nemesis who owns a competing bar. After chugging down drink after drink and in the depths of despair, Willie drunkenly tells his friends, “I am done with women. I’m done. Men don’t take you to a Ruben Blades concert and then break up with you. We do it straight up, with a text.” Using humor and packaged in short digestible episodes East WillyB is targeted at young Latinos.
The New York Times has called it a, “Latino Show for a New Generation.” So, who is this new generation? Sometimes called American Latinos or Generation ñ, they are Latinos born in the United States who speak English as their first language. East WillyB is a reflection of this generation. Willie, the main character, is a second generation Puerto Rican who wears guayaberas and loves baseball. Ceci (played by Julia Ahumada Grob) is half Mexican, half Cuban but gets made fun of for being, “whiter than milk.” And while some of the characters struggle with their Spanish, Albert (played by Danny Hoch) is a white guy who grew up in Bushwick and speaks better Spanish than all of them.
East WillyB is a breath of fresh air that will hopefully spark a revolution in television programming aimed at Latinos. True to the New York experience the Latino characters are not just Puerto Rican or Dominican. They are a mixture of nationalities: Mexican, Cuban, Salvadorian, Puerto Rican and even some halfsies. With Latinos in front of and behind the camera the storylines are written for Latinos by Latinos. The result is an authentic portrait of a culture that no market research could replicate, regardless of how hard mainstream television networks try to appeal to this much sought after demographic. It’s the little details that make it ring true to the American Latino experience. They argue soccer vs. baseball, make fun of each other’s broken Spanish and listen to hip-hop and salsa. Let’s hope that television executives will take note and follow suit.
East WillyB will premiere six brand new episodes beginning March 20th and running bi-weekly through May 15th on their dedicated Youtube channel and website. Follow @EastWillyB on Twitter and Facebook. Tweet about the premiere and use the hashtag #ewbpremiere

If there aren’t Nielsen ratings to look to and you can’t add up advertising revenue, how do you determine the success of an independently produced web series? No matter how you measure it, East WillyB is a smash hit. Since it premiered online last year the hilarious ‘gentrification comedy’ received over 40,000 views in a matter of days and received press coverage from NY Daily News, Fox News Latino, MTV, and Latina.com among others. Julia Grob, co-creator explains, “Set in gentrified Brooklyn, it's an online series about a Puerto Rican sports bar owner, Willy Jr. (Flaco Navaja), who is working hard to keep his bar alive in the face of the hipster invasion of his neighborhood. We like to affectionately call it a Latino Cheers.”
Despite rave reviews and an audience who wants to see more content, the producers have been unable to find a place for the series at a TV network. Rather than being discouraged, they have launched a kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to raise $50,000 for a new 12 episode season. They have raised close to $40,000 but if they don’t reach 50k by June 1st, they won’t receive any of the money that has been pledged so far.
With your support East WillyB could become the first community-funded Latino sitcom. More than just a Latino Cheers, this innovative web series showcases the talents of Latinos in front of and behind the camera. And though set in Latino Brooklyn, it offers a critique of gentrification that resonates with all urban dwellers. But most importantly it is an example of media that bypasses the traditional mode of production and is made ‘by the people and for the people.’
The team behind East WillyB, sick of not seeing themselves represented in the media, set out to tell humorous but authentic stories that American Latinos could connect with. Grob along with her co-creator Yamin Segal were, “frustrated by the lack of stories or characters that represented our reality as new generation Latinos, raised in the states. With 50 million Latinos who are English-dominant, we are the new majority and still suffer from lack of representation in media.”
Their goal was modest--to make a few short webisodes. In retrospect they took on a monumental task--to challenge the stereotyped representations of Latinos. “We wanted to create a new American sitcom” says Grob. “You don't have Latinos in positions of power in Hollywood. So, until we have more Latino executives, producers, directors, writers, and casting agents we'll continue to see token stories or storylines that are based on ‘research’ of our demographic, not on authentic knowledge of the Latino experience. East WillyB resonates because it was created by a full Latino creative team. We have an ability to speak authentically to our audience and that is more powerful than any research!”
The pilot season was created without any money and as a labor of love. Any size donation will help them reach their fundraising goal so they can continue to create original and innovative content that not only speaks to the Spanglish-speaking American-born Latino but to all audiences. Because ultimately, “East WillyB is really at its heart an American comedy about working class people struggling to stay alive and so many different communities can relate to that story, in this economy.”...

After airing a successful pilot season of their web series "East Willy B"—which takes a comedic look at the effects of gentrification in inner city neighborhoods—actress Julia Grob and writer-director Yamin Segal have big plans to release the show's first official season with an ambitious 12-episode order.
But before they can produce the new episodes (which they're hoping to premiere during Hispanic Heritage Month), the co-creators of the hit web series will have to raise $50,000, and they're hoping a new KickStarter campaign will help them reach that goal more quickly.

It's a surprise that "Babygirl" director Macdara Vallely hails from Ireland. His new film, premiering at The Tribeca Film Festival, hums and buzzes with the authentic regional pleasures of the Bronx, the dialects, the smoky bodegas, the sizzling summer pavement. "Babygirl," which follows the struggles of a small Puerto Rican family, certainly passes the smell test to this particular critic, capturing the neighborhood's particular charms and unmistakable ethnic identity.
Newcomer Yanis Ynoa is precocious teen Lena, blossoming into a woman, and ready to take on responsibilities she previously avoided. While Max Fischer interpreted this period of growth in "Rushmore" as the need to meet girls, Lena somehow takes her sixteenth birthday as a cue to protect her single mother Lucy (Rosa Arrendono). Mom still has a smoldering sensuality and a desire for youth, to the point where she remains attracted to younger men. This gets her close to twentysomething smoothie...

I just wanted to remind everyone that Jenna Dewan-Tatum's independent film 'Falling Awake' just had a nationwide release via IFC and Mega Films on Video On Demand Today and will have a limited theatrical release on January 29, 2010.
Jenna attended the premiere for the film last night in New York City. Below, you can check out personal behind-the-scenes pics that she tweeted out before the event and paparazzi photos of Jen with co-star Andy Cisneros at the premiere.
I love the personal photos, because she tweeted a pic from the plane thousands of feet in the air in route to New York, from Chan and Jen's favorite NY restaurant (Habana Cafe), and from the makeup chair as she was getting ready for the event. We also get a glimpse of a very special 'Falling Awake' tequila bottle with Jen's likeness and see Jen featured on Instyle's...

You gotta respect Dito Montiel’s “Fighting”, the new street fightin’/hustla movie starring Channing Tatum (from “G.I. Joe”) as a street guy who gets hustled into the dangerous world of illegal underground fighting. What else would this world be but dangerous? That’s kind of redundant, right? Anyways, you gotta respect a movie about fighting that just calls itself what it is: “Fighting”. Here’s a new poster. In New York City, a young counterfeiter (Tatum) is introduced to the world of underground street fighting by a seasoned scam artist (Howard), who becomes his manager on the bare-knuckling brawling circuit. Starring Channing Tatum, Terrence Howard, Luis Guzmán, Brian J. White, and Flaco Navaja as Ray Ray. Cause you gotta have a guy name Ray Ray in a movie about the illegal bare-knuckling brawling circuit. Am I right or am I right? This fine Channing Tatum-centric poster brought...
