(BPRW) NAACP and Adobe Celebrate the Return of the Cinematic Shorts Competition and the launch of the Creative Fellowship  

The NAACP, in partnership with Adobe, is pleased to announce the highly anticipated return of the NAACP Cinematic Shorts Competition and the launch of the NAACP Creative Fellowship ( Black PR Wire ). These initiatives confirm the NAACP’s dedication to promoting equality in the entertainment sector and supporting emerging, talented artists. Through these efforts, the NAACP and Adobe are making sure that the next generation of writers have the tools, training, and awareness they need to succeed. A 14-week paid software designed to train emerging post-production professionals with expertise in video editing, motion pictures, sound style, and social media content creation is the NAACP Creative Fellowship in partnership with Adobe. This raised opportunity is available to those who have some editing experience and are prepared to launch their post-production careers. Four talented fellows may be chosen to participate in market mentorships, Adobe Creative Cloud coaching, hands-on job experience, and special networking opportunities following a rigorous application procedure. Working with the NAACP on these ground-breaking activities demonstrates Adobe’s unwavering determination to empower the next generation of designers. The Creative Fellowship and the Cinematic Shorts Competition give viewers more than just access to tools; they also offer opportunities for coaching, business connections, and real-world expertise. We’re pleased to assist these accomplished stories as they influence the direction of film and post-production. According to Amy White, World Head of Corporate Social Responsibility & Social Impact Communications at Adobe,”… The scholarship will begin with a week-long retreat in Los Angeles from June 2 through June 6 where fellows will get cutting-edge artistic story instruction from Adobe Trainer Christine Steele and will participate in career-building activities with major industry experts. The skills, love, and development we saw “reaffirmed the value of providing accessibility and mentoring in post-production and filmmaking.” According to Kyle Bowser, Senior Vice President, NAACP Hollywood Bureau,” We’re excited to once again companion with Adobe to maintain this work, ensuring that these voices have a seat at the table and are empowered to form the company’s coming.” The Cinematic Shorts Competition returns with a bigger goal: to provide a program for young artists ( ages 18 to 29 ) to display their story abilities and participate in hands-on production activities as part of the future 116th NAACP National Convention. Participants will work under the direction of a professional mentor and be paired in teams of two to produce a 5-5-7-minute short film. Filmmakers will have 72 hours to plan, shoot, and edit their movies while collaborating with Program Executive Director, Logan Coles, during the convention. Their final 5- to 5-minute short films, whether narrative, documentary, or avant-garde, will examine important NAACP focus areas like Race &amp, Justice, Health &amp, Well-Being, Inclusive Economy, and Education Innovation. Attendees who have completed these completed movies will be able to vote for the piece that will be most compelling at the 116th Convention. The winning filmmakers will each receive a$ 10K grant to produce a short film in association with the NAACP Hollywood Bureau and NAACP+ Studios, a trip to Los Angeles to watch the 57th NAACP Image Awards and other events, and exclusive one-on-one meetings with senior industry executives to support their career advancement.
