“Kenny Ortega is such an amazing artist, an auteur. Dan Cross and David Hoge created an excellent show which culminated in this incredible acknowledgement from the Academy! The original format came from Brazilian Director, Joao Daniel Tikhomiroff, of Mixer Films.
I remember having dinner in Miami with Joao and visionary, Andy Patman, celebrating the enthusiasm we all shared to bring this great story to the U.S. market. It’s the success of diverse shows like these that prove the more we are inclusive behind and in front of the camera, we will always then bring the best entertainment. We look forward to continue this work to bring more Latinx and diverse content to the U.S. market,” said Jaime Aymerich.
