Galan Entertainment teams up with HBO.

Production company Galan Entertainment announced that it has teamed up with HBO to produce a series of 90-120-second segments of mobile content geared to the Latino community.

“I started Galan Entertainment launching new TV channels into Latin America,” says President Nely Galán. “Now, we’re at the forefront of the digital age, producing entertainment content for new platforms such as mobile phones and iPods.”

The series, entitled La Traductora (The Translator), shows through mini-novelas, the daily experiences of Carmen and her daughter Maribel. Like most children of immigrants, Maribel is her mom’s professional translator. Every day, Carmen is confronted with issues that require her to learn key phrases in English. Maribel comes to the rescue in a very comedic way, getting her mother out of potentially embarrassing situations while at the same time, teaching her English 101. The vignettes will provide Latinos with relatable entertainment and information that includes their own “phone dictionary” containing key phrases in English, which are essential for survival in the U.S.
