2024 Adelante Directors Fellowship

The Adelante Fellowship provides recipients the opportunity to shadow an episode of a series, a grant to support the artist for the duration of up to four weeks while shadowing, a two-day orientation with master classes, and bespoke support from The Latinx House. The fellowship, launched in 2022, creates unparalleled opportunities and invaluable experiences for directors to gain hands-on experience, and tools to create a new pipeline for them to break into the entertainment industry.

The continuation of The Adelante Directors Fellowship aims to also help bridge the gap of Latine creators in the entertainment industry to earn their fair share in terms of equal pay. Data from the human rights organization Justice for Migrant Women found that Latinas working full time, year-round in the arts, design, entertainment, sports and media are paid just 73 cents to the dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic male workers in these industries. The fellowship sets creators up for opportunities where their talents are valued and met with the resources to set them up for success.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
