The Accelerator is a project hub dedicated to 1st and 2nd feature films at any stage of development. 12 creative teams are selected to take part in a month-long mentoring process, which includes a Hub Day at the NALIP Media Summit on June 26 - 27th. During the Hub Day, participants have one-to-one meetings with market guests, and the projects are assessed by a Jury.

In partnership with STARZ and New Filmmakers LA.
The STARZ #TakeTheLead Writers' Intensive provides a unique platform for emerging talents to cultivate their skills and refine their spec scripts with the guidance of esteemed mentors, executives, and established writers.
The Women of Color Incubator, supported by the Netflix Fund for Creative Equity, provides five women of color with the opportunity, access, mentorship and production support to develop and produce each of their original short films.
With support from executives at NALIP and Netflix, the filmmakers receive guidance through all stages of the filmmaking journey — from pre-production, filming, post-production and eventual distribution.
Please consider making an additional tax-deductible gift which goes directly to help fund programs and events for Latino and diverse storytellers at all levels, through our annual forums, year-round resources, mentorship programs and more.
