The Motion Picture Association is expanding its team in Latin America with the addition of new communications and advocacy leaders.
Cesar Castillejos will become vice president of communications, public affairs and advocacy for the region and Carlos Monroy will become advocacy director for Mexico.
The appointments reflect growth in the Latin American home, mobile and theater markets.
