told Grazia. “What we do [in the industry] matters, it can change culture and, when you change culture, you can change policy, perception. You can change a lot of things with storytelling.” Longoria will soon be back in front of the camera with the six-part series “Land of Women” from her new Hyphenate Media Group.
“I like producing with purpose,” she told the outlet. “I want to tell stories for my Latine community. We have a lot of heroes, things to say, an amazing talent pool of storytellers.
It’s refreshing and innovative — in an industry that keeps going to the same writers and creators for the same stories — to have a different perspective and point of view, because it changes everything, makes it more interesting, more relevant.” Of the show, Longoria said she told creator Roman Campos, “I wanted to work in Spain and asked him to write me a show set in wine country.
