On September 1, TTV will present the opening keynote for Conecta Fiction Reboot, featuring an exclusive, in-depth interview with one of the most influential women in the Latin TV industry: actress and producer, Kate del Castillo.

Conecta Fiction and TTV are honored to announce their collaboration to present the inaugural keynote for the September issue of Conecta Fiction Reboot.

From her home in Los Angeles, Mexican actress and producer Kate del Castillo will speak exclusively with Rodrigo Ros, editor-in-chief of TTV, about her leading role in the production of fiction content from the US to the world.

To her long experience as an actress (La reina del sur, Ingobernable, Bad Boys for Life), she has recently added her role as a producer, launching Cholawood Productions together with seasoned industry executive Carmen Cervantes and Emmy Award-winning journalist Jessica Maldonado.

Her main goal is to tell great stories and make quality content. But without forgetting the social background: the production company seeks to create new narratives that empower women (in front of and behind the camera) and the Latino community, moving away from stereotypes and cliches.
