Gloria Calderón Kellett’s GloNation Studios Gets Investment From Eva Longoria’s Hyphenate Media, Lands Rights From Celia Cruz Estate

As a supporter of empowering women in media, I am absolutely thrilled about this partnership between Gloria Calderón Kellett and Hyphenate Media Group! With her Emmy-winning reboot of “One Day at a Time” and her successful rom-com series “With Love,” Gloria’s storytelling is not only heartwarming but also universally relatable.


As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve become an invested spectator in the dynamic venture between Cris Abrego and Eva Longoria’s Hyphenate Media Group and Gloria Calderón Kellett’s GloNation Studios. This collaboration promises a wave of captivating content!

As a seasoned movie critic embarking on a new chapter, I’m thrilled to announce my partnership with Kellett, a content powerhouse. Under this agreement, I’ll be crafting, assembling, and bringing to life engaging stories for various industry buyers, all while enjoying the backing of Hyphenate – an innovative force in media, fresh off their own media venture, bolstered by a strategic investment from Banijay Entertainment, made in October 2023. The synergy between us promises a vibrant and fruitful journey ahead!

In this fresh collaboration, Kellett’s GloNation Studios unveiled that it has teamed up with Uncontained Media for an exclusive opportunity to produce TV and movie content centered around the iconic salsa sensation Celia Cruz. Hyphenate Media Group played a crucial role in locating and finalizing this deal with the Cruz family’s estate.

Financial details of Hyphenate’s investment in GloNation were not disclosed.

Kellett, recognized primarily for her Emmy-winning revival of Norman Lear’s classic sitcom “One Day at a Time,” boasts other notable achievements such as the romantic comedy series “With Love,” which streamed for two seasons on Amazon, and “The Horror of Dolores Roach,” a horror-comedy produced by Amazon that featured her “One Day at a Time” lead, Justina Machado. Recently, she has ventured into theater with the play “One of the Good Ones,” a comedy staged at the Pasadena Playhouse and debuted in March.

From the moment we started Hyphenate, Gloria’s unique blend of emotional depth, humor, and relatability in storytelling has made us eager to collaborate with her. Our goal is to assist Gloria in expanding GloNation as an independent production company that offers top-tier content across all genres, formats, and audiences. She’s been working hand-in-hand with our team who manage her business operations, while she concentrates on managing numerous ongoing projects and building her content library.

Longoria stated: “Gloria has been my closest friend for over 20 years, and I’ve always admired her opinions and ideas. It’s significant to me now that I can invest in her business, offering the necessary funds and resources to boost its growth and influence even further. She is an exceptional talent, and I’m excited to be traveling this road with her as a partner.

Kellett expressed great excitement about the deal with Cris, Eva, and Hyphenate Media Group. He has had several overall deals with excellent companies during his career, but none quite matched his aspirations. Instead of just producing content for a single buyer, Kellett aims to create and distribute content for multiple buyers, both independently and collaboratively. The resources provided by Hyphenate will significantly boost GloNation’s growth at an unprecedented pace.
