Today, \u00a0<\/strong>Indeed announced it will be extending its partnership with Emmy Award-winning writer<\/a>, producer and actor Lena Waithe and her company\u00a0Hillman Grad Productions<\/a>\u00a0to further invest in Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) filmmakers.\u00a0Indeed is investing $3 million, tripling its initial investment from\u00a0Rising Voices\u00a0Season One, by adding a second season and a filmmaker residency program to expand on its commitment to telling diverse stories around the meaning of work and providing opportunities for marginalized talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are thrilled to be bringing back the Rising Voices program with our partners at Indeed, ‘ said Waithe and Hillman Grad President, Rishi Rajani. “This year’s brilliant films and filmmakers proved that there are so many stories out there to tell and so many artists ready to tell them. Creating these opportunities for underrepresented voices and kickstarting their careers is fundamental to our mission here at Hillman Grad. We are grateful to Indeed for their trust in us as we continue to grow this initiative. 100k per film. 10 films. Year 2 applications are open now!”\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This increased investment by Indeed will include two programs, the first being season 2 of Rising Voices.\u00a0Indeed and Hillman Grad Productions are reprising their creative call to filmmakers to share stories around the meaning of work and how connecting all people to opportunity leads to better lives. This creative call kicks off today, with 10 filmmakers being selected by early February 2022. Each filmmaker will be given a production budget of $100,000, for a total of $1 million, to create a short film (under 15 minutes). Their films will debut at the Tribeca Festival in 2022. In addition, the selected filmmakers will be mentored by a variety of filmmakers including Lena Waithe, will be awarded a $10,000 writing fee and will have access to a production line crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The incredible work of the filmmakers in Season 1 of Rising Voices demonstrated our belief that talent is universal but opportunity is not. The proof is in the amazing achievements of the filmmakers since their premiere at the Tribeca Festival,” said Indeed CEO Chris Hyams. “I am ecstatic to expand our partnership with Lena Waithe and Hillman Grad Productions to our new production and development lab for three of the filmmakers we discovered last year, and to help another class of filmmakers be seen, heard, and financed. I am excited to see how the new voices and perspectives will showcase the meaning of work to the millions of people who rely on Indeed to find their next job.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The second is the Production and Development Lab (“The Lab”), a 12 month non-exclusive residency program featuring three of the Rising Voices 1 filmmakers: Chinese-American filmmaker\u00a0Johnson Cheng,\u00a0 Haitian filmmaker\u00a0Stacy Pascal Gaspard\u00a0and Dominican- born filmmaker\u00a0Gabriela Ortega. Modeled after Indeed’s incubator program, which funds new product ideas internally, Hillman Grad will work with the filmmakers to develop ideas and create content for Indeed.\u00a0 A $2 million production budget from Indeed has been allocated to The Lab, and Hillman Grad will provide production support. Each filmmaker is awarded $100,000 for their role as filmmaker in residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Continuing this partnership with Lena Waithe and Hillman Grad will expand the creation of sustainable job opportunities for talented underrepresented creatives,” said LaFawn Davis, SVP at Indeed. “We are excited to also provide mentorship throughout this process to further enhance the experience for the filmmakers and help prepare them for a career in the film industry.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rising Voices originally launched in February of 2021 and was highly successful with over 800 filmmakers applying for the opportunity to be a part of the program and more than 650 jobs created throughout the process. The finalists’\u00a0films<\/a>\u00a0debuted at the\u00a0Tribeca Festiva<\/a>l this past June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ventureland\u00a0and\u00a0271 Films\u00a0are also returning as partners in the program. Filmmakers interested in participating should visit the\u00a0Rising Voices site<\/a>\u00a0and submit their screenplays highlighting how jobs can change the world by January 4, 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
