SUMMARY:10th Annual Native American TV Writers Lab Fellows Selected
DESCRIPTION:The Native American Media Alliance selects seven participants for the 10th Annual Native American TV Writers Lab. This year’s TV Lab is in partnership with Comcast NBCUniversal\, Golden Globes Foundation\, Netflix\, United Talent Agency\, Snowpants Productions\, Threshold and Cherokee Film. \n“The 10th Annual Native American TV Writers Lab continues to be a vital platform for emerging Indigenous talent.” announced Ian Skorodin\, Director of Strategy for the Native American Media Alliance. “We are proud to foster a community of writers who are shaping the future of television.” \nFounded in 2016\, the Native American TV Writers Lab is an intensive TV scriptwriters workshop that has developed dozens of writers for current television series. Selected fellows take part in an eight-week curriculum curated by seasoned writing professionals. The lab consists of daily workshops\, seminars\, and one-on-one mentoring to help each writer develop and complete a pilot in eight weeks and hone skills to prepare the writers to move into staff writing positions. \nThe Native American TV Writers Lab was created to expand the amount of Native Americans working behind the camera as a way to increase fair and accurate portrayals of Native Americans on television. According to every industry report from the WGA West\, Nielsen\, and others\, the Native American and indigenous population represent a dismal number within the industry. This lab is part of the Native American Media Alliance’s overall mission to provide genuine solutions to systemic challenges in the entertainment industry. \nThe 10th Annual NATIVE AMERICAN TV WRITERS LAB fellows: \nTracy Abeyta (Pueblo) \nKels Cooper (Cherokee) \nCynthia Hamidi (Cherokee) \nShaawan Francis Keahna (Ojibwe) \nKeri Mabry (Navajo) \nBrittanie Sheree (Cherokee) \nBre Skye (Haudenosaunee) \n  \nSponsors \n\n	\n		\n			\n			\n			\n			\n			View Image\n						\n						Comcast NBCUniversal\n						\n			\n			\n			\n			\n			View Image\n			\n			\n			\n			\n			View Image\n						\n						Golden Globe Foundation\n						\n			\n			\n			\n			\n			View Image\n						\n						Snowpants Productions\n						\n			\n			\n			\n			\n			View Image\n						\n						Cherokee Film\n						\n			\n			\n			\n			\n			View Image\n						\n						United Talent Agency\n						\n			\n			\n			\n			\n			View Image
