NALIP and NFMLA are excited to collaborate once again with STARZ for the fourth season of the STARZ #TakeTheLead Writers’ Intensive—an empowering program aimed at nurturing new voices in television.
This initiative provides emerging writers the opportunity to refine their skills and develop original spec scripts with hands-on guidance from top-tier mentors, executives, and experienced writers.
Applications closed for the 2025 season. Returning Fall 2026!

The Director Incubator, sponsored by Netflix, is an intensive production grant designed to empower emerging filmmakers who tell stories from the perspectives of women and gender-expansive
individuals. This initiative provides the necessary tools, resources, funding, and guidance to successfully develop and produce short films that reflect their unique creative vision.
Applications closed for the 25/26 season. Returning Summer 2026!
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.
