The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the 2024 Academy Gold Rising talent development program, which invites college seniors and recent graduates on an eight-week summer educational initiative to help jumpstart their careers in film. Gold Rising participants will attend networking events, receive exclusive internship opportunities and hear from panelists and speakers from the industry’s top filmmakers.
“The Academy’s Gold Rising program cultivates the next generation of storytellers and artisans,” said Brooke Breton, Academy governor and member of the Academy Foundation Board of Trustees. “We eagerly anticipate guiding this year’s class to demonstrate and instill a deep appreciation of how each discipline and aspect of filmmaking contributes to the collaborative nature of our industry.”
