Dominican television has been able to draw on Venezuelan professionals, in the different areas that, for years, came to the country as a result of the crisis that has plunged Venezuela, in one of the worst moments in its history.
Within Spanish-speaking countries, Venezuela was a model of television production and creativity, but the political, social and economic situation of that nation, which included little freedom of expression, caused a massive flight of talents in all parts of the world, and The Dominican Republic has welcomed some of them, who have contributed their knowledge to the growth of local television.
The television producer and actor Leonardo Villalobos has been in our nation for five years and four years working in Telemicro, channel 5, a refuge that has allowed him to develop and expose his knowledge.
He currently serves as director of programming for Telemicro. His experience spans acting, production, and presentation. In her home country she worked at RCTV on seven soap opera projects and 16 years at Venevisión.
Regarding his experience arriving and working in Dominican television, Villalobos understands that it is about another language, another system, without different codes of the same business.
“When you understand that you are not coming to change but to contribute to what already exists, with respect and humility the path becomes easy, Telemicro and Mr. Juan Ramón Gómez Díaz have given me that opportunity, I have learned a lot,” he says.
Villalobos confesses that the path of Dominican television still has a long way to go, however his goal is focused on national production.
In addition to Villalobos, the Telemicro Media group has hosted news anchor Elianta Quintero, actress and television host La Beba Rojas and radio and television host Jessica Pereira.
