<div>Anthony I. Austin, Emmy Award-winning media executive, visionary filmmaker, and beloved husband and father, passed away peacefully in Brooklyn, New York, surrounded by family. He was 63.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His wife and family are asking for help to lay Anthony to rest and help lighten the burden in this unimaginably difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds raised here will go directly toward Anthony’s funeral and burial expenses, and will also provide immediate support to his widowed wife, Natalia, and their 8-year-old son, Derry. Natalia is navigating life in New York City, working hard and learning English, while raising Derry, a bright and gifted boy. The support will help ensure Derry has the resources he needs as he grows up without his father.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anthony's mission was to amplify underrepresented voices, especially those of Latino and African diaspora communities, through stories that matter. His team-based philosophy, technical prowess, and multilingual storytelling made him stand out in New York’s media landscape.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Born in Reading, England, to Victor and Enid Austin, Anthony emigrated to the United States, became a U.S. citizen, and built a prolific career in the television and film industry, blending artistry, innovation, and cultural pride.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He was the founder and CEO of ELE Productions, LLC, and the creative force behind En La Escena / On The Scene—the first trilingual TV entertainment platform dedicated to elevating Latino and Caribbean culture in New York and beyond. He was a filmmaker, mentor, and pioneer who opened doors for marginalized voices in the media.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can give, please do. Your large or small contributions will help Anthony's wife and son immensely. Please share this with anyone who knew Anthony or believes in lifting a family that is unexpectedly in need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your kindness means more than you know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Austin Family
</div>
