For the past two years, the lack of diversity in Oscar nominees has resulted in #OscarsSoWhite. Now, Warner Bros. has announced plans for the Emerging Directors Fellowship Workshop, which will team young directors with studio executive mentors. The mentors will guide the filmmakers' projects through a premiere on the studio lot, where agents and other creative execs will be on hand.
Greg Silverman, WB's president of creative development and worldwide production, told The Hollywood Reporter that the program is "really for anybody who is looking at the system and saying, 'The unfair part is that I can’t even get started.' So get started with Warner Bros."
Accepted filmmakers will participate in a program that will cover all aspects of feature film production, from pitch to final cut, with the end result being a short film of three to ten minutes and an eye-popping budget of $100,000. The accepted filmmakers will be doing their work on the storied Warner Bros. lot, and the studio will cover all costs above and below the line.
