Charles Vista Teams with Dennis Ray & Chan Add Films to create Hispanic ‘Sopranos’ series.

Charles Vista, LLC announced its strategic partnership on the television project “Hacienda Heights” with longtime Television Executive, Dennis Ray, and CEO and Executive Producer of Chan Add Films, Desmond Gumbs.

The series, which has a Sopranos feel, is the first of its kind; featuring an all Latin cast, and airing in both English and Spanish. The dramatic story line revolves around two families motivated by lust, greed, and power.

Desmond Gumbs has worked in the entertainment industry for over 25 years with stars such as Martin Lawrence, Charlie Murphy and Brad Pitt. Ray’s 25 years of experience has made him a pioneer of multi-cultural media sales and marketing. He has worked on shows, such as the Cosby Show, LA Law, Cheers, the Simpsons, and Beverly Hills 90210. Additionally, he created the first minority owned Broadcast programming service.

“We are thrilled to have this opportunity to work with Charles Vista, LLC. Our experience with them has been terrific, and they are a real class act,” stated Mr. Ray. “With the success of this first venture, we intend to continue our relationship with Charles Vista and look to do even bigger deals with them in the future.”

“Charles Vista is excited to start this project with Desmond and Dennis,” commented Gregg Lorenzo, founder of Charles Vista. “Hacienda Heights is a great show with a great team backing it. We are honored to be part of this landmark in the television industry.”
