For the inaugural season of Disney’s “Launchpad” shorts incubator, the studio centered on the theme, “Discover,” encouraging audiences broaden their worldview through their short films.
“At its core, the program is about giving access and opportunity to those who have historically not had that in Hollywood [including people of color and LGBTQ+ filmmakers], and to tell stories on a global platform that represent the child within ourselves who we haven’t seen on screen before,” Ibrahim explains. “This program became a way to reflect on what we would have loved to see kind of growing up.
Ibrahim adds: “If our filmmakers were able to get through a COVID shoot successfully, they can definitely direct a multi-million dollar budget feature film. They are pros.” One of the top concerns for Pace, whose film “Growing Fangs” is a teen vampire comedy, was that she might not be able to connect with her actors while directing from behind a mask and face shield.
“We really wanted to give these short films the love and intention the way we do every film and series on Disney theatrically and within our streaming services,” Ibrahim says. “I feel like immigrant stories so far have been about assimilation, but about not about what makes us so special as immigrants or that America has to accept us for who we are and celebrate our cultures, what’s special to us, our religions,” she explains.
The film is subsequently a commentary on the way we look at culture in American and the fear that is often prevalent of losing ones own culture if you celebrate someone else’s.
