o Mentoring
The Caucus for Television Producers, Writers and Directors has established a mentoring program for winners of the Caucus Foundation’s student grants program, which was established by the Caucus to promote diversity in the entertainment industry. The Caucus for Television Producers, Writers & Directors is the principal multi-guild professional organization representing television producers, writers and directors in creative rights issues. It is a strong proponent of quality television.
The Caucus Foundation provides grants to promising film students who need funds to complete their films. To date the Foundation has given $396,000 in cash and awards to 59 promising student filmmakers.
Caucus Foundation mentors will work closely with grant recipients on their projects, lending their expertise and knowledge to help students complete their projects, locate venues in which to show their work and open doors within the industry.
The Foundation’s criteria stipulates that the awardees be enrolled in an accredited undergraduate, graduate or fellowship degree program and working to complete a film, TV, or interactive project for their degree. Additionally, the applicants must submit a final script, final budget, rough cut, financing plan, shooting/post schedule, crew list and student status.
Mentoring may include but is not limited to:
• Regular telecom contact
• Reviewing script and production plans
• Reviewing budgets and finance
• Consultation on the editing, sound and music functions
• Recommendations on marketing, film, festivals and agent/producer
submissions
• General support in all areas of the entertainment industry re future
education and/or employment.
