FUNAVE was created in response to the lack of Spanish-language training options for screenwriters and youth within the United States and is the first laboratory for the learning, development and research of audiovisual narratives in Spanish within the United States. FUNAVE's first initiative is FUNAVERANO, a series of four intensive workshops featuring prominent screenwriters and media professionals, as well as guest speakers. All the workshops will be held in Spanish at the historic Amster Yard building of the Cervantes Institute in Manhattan.
