Year-round Program Offers Pivotal Artist Support to Early Career Latine Artists
PARK CITY, UTAH, October 10, 2024 - The nonprofit Sundance Institute announced today the storytellers selected for the 2024 Latine Fellowship and Collab Scholarship. Now in its third year, the program aims to expand Latine representation in independent media meaningfully by providing artist development through fellowships and mentorships to10 early career Latine artists. This year's cohort will receive an intentional immersion in a community of like-minded creatives where both professional and creative growth is nurtured through professional and creative development support, networking opportunities, access to Sundance Collab and ELEVATE.
This year's Latine Fellowship and Scholarship recipients come from diverse disciplines, all united by their shared goals of growth and increasing representation for a wide range of Latine voices, said Hajnal Molnar-Szakacs, Director of Sundance Institute's Artist Accelerator and Women at Sundance. We are thrilled to welcome them into this Program and look forward to seeing how creative and financial support will help them advance these goals.
The Sundance Institute Latine Fellowship will uplift five early career Latine artists working in film or television with a yearlong fellowship experience. Each fellow will receive a $10,000 unrestricted grant, bespoke artist development support, creative and tactical support on their projects, and regular opportunities for community engagement and networking. The fellows were chosen from Sundance Institute artist support programs across fiction and nonfiction.
The Sundance Institute Latine Collab Scholarship will award five emerging Latine artists, new to the Sundance Institute Artist community, a yearlong mentorship with a Sundance Artist Alumni focused on craft and career development. Alongside the mentorship, artists will regularly meet with Sundance staff and industry professionals and participate in artist development sessions designed to lay the foundation for their career goals.
