Attn: POC Writers! RISE Fellowship application window open til June 30!
Less than two weeks left -- are you ready to RISE?
RISE - Year 3. Applications open on Coverfly now through June 30th.
Rideback RISE is a non-profit accelerator dedicated to supporting mid-career POC artists and creators to create commercial film and television across genres. Storytellers (“Fellows”) gain access to an economic stipend, and a development fund for the purpose of optioning IP and/or creating visual proof-of-concept materials.
The 12-month Fellowship also provides expert in-depth, one-to-one mentoring, programming year-round, as well as resources and benefits while the Fellows each develop and refine a specific television or feature film project before it is taken out to market.
About the Program
Each of the Fellows will be paired with a high-level Creative Mentor (e.g., an experienced showrunner, filmmaker, etc.) as well as a Business Mentor (producer, executive, etc.) whom they will work with for the duration of the Program.
Fellows will be selected based on their storytelling and writing abilities, the authenticity of their voice, the strength and commercial viability of their ideas, their willingness to maximize the impact of the resources provided.
Fellows will be based at Rideback Ranch in LA’s Historic FilipinoTown.
Bonus: There will also be a number of creators who will be invited to join the RISE Circle, a core part of RISE's cohort and community, enabling them to attend much of the creative and practical programming year-round in addition to lighter-touch support on their projects.
