While the AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) community have helped
build America and contributed to culture around the world, until very
recently mainstream storytelling from Hollywood has not reflected these
contributions or included narratives of the diaspora. We believe in
empowering and guiding students to understand and find footing in careers
in entertainment and seek to create a pipeline of creatives from Cal to
Hollywood.

Through our AAPI Careers in Entertainment Creative Fellowship, BCNM,
powered through the collaborative volunteer efforts of Cal alumni and
entertainment industry veterans, aims to transform both how entertainment
career opportunities are viewed by students, and how AAPI are viewed within
the entertainment industry. *Selected fellows will receive a summer stipend
of $1,500 plus mentorship from industry professionals. *The funding will
help fellows pursue the start to their creative career journey in media and
entertainment over the summer. From our experience the best way to enter
the entertainment industry is through an internship at a Hollywood talent
agency, management company, studio or a related hands-on internship at an
entertainment company broadly defined.

We want to build a network of Cal alumni in leadership positions in
entertainment who, by developing narratives that feature AAPI and
encouraging greater diversity at all levels within studios and agencies,
will make strides to change the ecosystem of cultural production to be more
reflective of the AAPI community at large.

*This year, BCNM has one Fellowship to award. *Students will be selected
based on their commitment to developing narratives that feature Asian
American and Pacific Islanders and encouraging greater diversity at all
levels within entertainment.

We want to build a network of AAPI Cal alumni in leadership positions in
media who, by developing narratives that feature AAPI and encouraging
greater diversity at all levels within studios and agencies, will
fundamentally change the ecosystem of cultural production to be more
reflective of the AAPI community at large.

*The AAPI Media Creatives Fellowship is made possible by the generous
support of Sam Kwok and the College of Engineering.*
