Taliesin Nexus, an educational nonprofit based in Los Angeles, is offering workshops at UCLA this August for pro-liberty students eyeing a career in film, television and/or publishing.
Taliesin Nexus’s workshop faculty is comprised of seasoned creative professionals currently working in their chosen fields as screenwriters, producers, novelists, talent reps, etc. with credits like NBC’s The Blacklist, Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, The Simpsons, and That ‘70s Show, and blockbuster movies like Noah, Braveheart, Elf, American Pie, and Liar Liar.
The workshops are completely free — tuition, room and board, and travel are all covered.
The programs include the “Apollo Workshop” (for film and TV aspirants) and the “Calliope Workshop” (for new novelists and nonfiction book authors) in addition to the following:
The Liberty Lab for Film: TN provides a $10,000 grant each to seven teams (of two filmmakers each) to make a short film or web series with a liberty-related theme over the summer. Each team will be assigned a mentor from among their experienced faculty of Hollywood pros who will provide guidance and feedback along the way. Last year, TN screened the completed films in October at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science’s Linwood Dunn Theatre in Hollywood before an audience of industry insiders.
Odysseus Fellowship: This is a paid three-month internship program that places interns with leading Hollywood production companies such as Image Movers (Polar Express, Cast Away), Disruption Entertainment (Noah, Godzilla), and Mpower Pictures (Passion of the Christ). Interns receive either school credit or a stipend of up to $5000, plus a fantastic learning and networking experience.
MFA Scholarships: TN is offering scholarships of up to $4000 to aspiring authors attending accredited MFA programs to study creative writing.
Taliesin Nexus works to increase the diversity of voices in the entertainment industry, and to train and support pro-liberty filmmakers, writers and other creatives who are exploring liberty-oriented themes.
