Tyler Perry is empowering the next generation of filmmakers through his newly launched Dream Collective.
Tyler Perry is giving back in a major way with the launch of his Dream Collective short film program.
Deadline reports that Perry introduced the ‘Dream Collective Short Film Program’ to discover and support the next generation of filmmakers. Former Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences CEO Dawn Hudson and producer Nekisa Cooper will serve as advisors, helping to cultivate emerging talent, especially those from underrepresented communities.
Through the program, Perry will provide emerging filmmakers with unmatched access to industry experts, hands-on training, and personalized support to empower their continued careers in storytelling.
“For a long time, it’s been on my heart to create a program where I could take what I’ve learned in this business and share it with others. That’s why today, I’m honored and excited to introduce the Tyler Perry Studios Dream Collective,” Perry said in a statement.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for up-and-coming directors to learn about the craft and business of filmmaking from professionals at the top of their game,” Perry said.
