| TWN Recommends
The rapid growth of the Spanish speaking community in the United States has marked a new phase in U.S. culture particularly in the audio-visual area, and the demand for professionals who can write in Spanish is continuously increasing. 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.
