<span>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.<br>
<br>
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. <strong>Selected fellows will receive a summer stipend of $1,500 plus mentorship from industry professionals. </strong>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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<strong>This year, BCNM has one Fellowship to award. </strong>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.</span>
