The scheme is part of the Roku Change Makers Program.
“Watching our inaugural class of Roku Change Makers grow into confident storytellers has been a profound experience. We’re proud to have cultivated an environment that empowered a diverse group of young people from across the country to courageously share their stories,” Roku head of alternative originals Brian Tannenbaum said in a statement.
The seven-week program took place last year from March 10 to April 21, and the second cohort will begin its training on March 9. “Fresh Films was started to fill a void in the entertainment industry where diversity is an issue,” Fresh Films founder and managing director Kelli Feigley said in a statement. “Through the Roku Change Makers program, Roku and Fresh Films have turned DEI words into action. By offering expertise and industry experiences, as well as distribution on a major streaming platform, this program has further supported the diversification of the entertainment industry.
