Emiliano Calemzuk, former CEO of Shine Americas and president of Fox TV Studios, Luis Balaguer, founder of Latin World Entertainment, and Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara has announced the launch of Raze, a new media company created to give audiences content and a new platform with a Latin angle.
United Talent Agency (UTA) and Ziffren Brittenham LLP, are founding partners and advisors.
“When we began talking about what a modern media company with a Latin edge would look like, it was clear that we had a significant opportunity to create something new and fresh. With such a stellar group of accomplished partners, we are in a unique position to do exactly that on a large scale,” said Calemzuk, co-founder and CEO, Raze.
Raze’s first show, Su nombre era Dolores, la Jenn que yo conocí (26×60′), produced in partnership with BTF and Dhana Media, premiered on Univision.
In addition, the company has several television shows in development like: a scripted series based on the life of Maradona (also produced in partnership with Dhana Media and BTF); Mi Hermanastro (My Stepbrother), which has over 22 million downloads online and the series on the life of Latino Hip Hop King “Don Omar”, among others.
Raze has also closed a Series A from Greycroft Partners, Raine Ventures and UTA.
“With talent connecting directly with audiences, we have an opportunity to provide a unique and fresh platform to a new generation of mobile-first users that consume video stories with a hearty appetite,” said Balaguer, co-founder, Raze.
