I’m writing to you today with news that applications are open for our Summer 2025 Film and Media Career Development Program. Attaching here a one-pager for distribution.
The virtual program is geared toward students and recent graduates who are interested in working in the Film and Media industry and provides opportunities to learn directly from professionals and plan their next career steps.
This year’s program invites students to focus on one of six Industry Tracks:
— Sidney Poitier Initiative Track for Multi-Hyphenates
— Executive Leadership and Ambassador Track
— Television/Episodic Creator Track
— Documentary Filmmaker Track
— Narrative Filmmaker Track
— New Media/Entrepreneurship Track
The cohort of 30 students will be required to attend their Track-specific sessions as well as a weekly all-cohort session. We also invite and encourage all students to engage with other tracks of their interest during the program. What this translates to is two (2) required 90-minute Zoom sessions per week, starting at around 5/5:30pm ET depending on speaker availability.
You can find more information on our website, and I will be hosting an information session at 5pm ET on Wednesday 2/26. Students can register here to attend the session.
Applications are due on March 10, 2025 at 11:59pm ET. There is an application fee of $25, but students are welcome to email me at gothamedusupport@thegotham.org to request a need-based fee waiver.
This program is supported by partners of The Gotham. If your college or university is interested in partnering with The Gotham, please reach out to gothamedusupport@thegotham.org
Thank you so much, and I’m happy to answer any questions. We look forward to reading your students’ applications!
All my best,
Yoko Kohmoto
