Island Hub Launches its Latino Focused Streaming Service Internationally

by EAStaff | June 11, 2023


Island Hub is a streaming platform with movies, series, and live sports available on-demand by visiting MyIslandHub.com or by downloading the Island Hub mobile application. The Puerto Rican based entertainment platform has plenty of award-winning Latin American films, and the widest available Puerto Rican content catalog all in one place.

“Our very talented local film industry is growing; we support and are part of the industry as producers, creators, and distributors. We want to increase our contributions to the Puerto Rican film industry. At Island Hub we intend to expand the borders of Puerto Rican cinema and celebrate the stories that connect our Caribbean and Latin-American communities worldwide.” added Joel Ivan Rivera, president of Island Hub.

Island Hub Productions is currently developing several projects slated to begin principal photography in summer of 2023. “Reel Escape, Mexico” a 3-part romantic-action-comedy mini-series will hit airwaves before years’ end. Simultaneously, two feature films to be shot in Puerto Rico, a comedy, and a musical drama, are also in pre-production phases for Island Hub Productions and will be on the big screen by early 2024. Last year the Island Hub Productions division premiered its initial project, the horror-thriller “El Karaoke”, on broadcast TV and streaming worldwide on the Island Hub app.

“We aim to provide a space online for Puerto Rican original content to reach the world with its modern cinema and historically invaluable productions. We provide films that are part of the Puerto Rican collective consciousness and are now available via streaming at any time through the Island Hub website and its mobile apps.” commented Carlos McConnie, general manager of Island Hub Streaming.



Island Hub has ever-expanding free content options with select series, movies, and short films available at no charge; such as 21 episodes of “El Trip de McConnie”, and an exclusive collection in collaboration with the “Pónte Los Cortos Film Fest” and its most outstanding short films. Island HUB has also become the leader in livestreaming sports in Puerto Rico with live professional volleyball and beach tennis on a regular basis.

As part of the Island Hub brand expansion, in alliance with one of the main television broadcasters in Puerto Rico, the weekly movie TV show, “Muvi Nait de Island Hub” has been on air for over 8 months. Hosted by Carlos McConnie and Kimberly Santiago, “Muvi Nait” presents trivia and behind the scenes tidbits directly from the local film industry; all while premiering the latest Island Hub film releases on broadcast before they are available on the streaming platform.

For fans of contemporary Latin American cinema in Spanish, Island Hub has become a must, especially for Puerto Rican and Caribbean films.
