Project: Involve
Film Independent has selected 40 fellows for Project: Involve, its annual diversity mentorship program.
The participants were announced at a reception at the Eastman Kodak Co. Thursday night.
Congratulations to documentarian Jonathan Menendez [CTVA Multimedia Spring 2007 Graduate] for being selected as a participant.
Project: Involve is dedicated to increasing cultural diversity in the film industry by cultivating the careers of under-represented filmmakers. The program, which runs from Nov. through June, offers a combination of one-on-one mentorships, filmmaking workshops, community screenings and job placement.
Additionally, Project: Involve Fellows receive a complimentary one-year membership to Film Independent.
"We have a remarkable group of filmmakers from culturally diverse backgrounds in this year's Project: Involve," Dawn Hudson, FIND exec director, said. "Project: Involve serves as an effective incubator for diverse voices in the industry and we are proud that this signature program has cultivated the talents and careers of more than 450 filmmakers."
