Comedy Central Teaming Up with Sundance Institute for Two Fellowships
$10K, customized mentorship, and a “year round ecosystem of support” will go to two lucky recipients of the newly minted Comedy Central Fellowship (one will be for the Sundance Institute’s Episodic Lab and one for their Screenwriters Lab) over the next couple of years.
If this sounds pretty nice to you, get all the details here.
For over 30 years, The Sundance Institute has found and fostered some of the best and most original voices in film. In just the last few years, they’ve started to expand their scope with their New Frontier Lab, helping artists in different mediums develop. This New Frontier Lab has even included a specific focus on storytelling since 2011.
The New Frontiers Storytelling Lab, this year, has selected two great comedic storytellers in Hasan Minhaj and Greg Walloch and Hasan’s solo show to be one of the few to be in this highly exclusive program.
Having seen plenty of Hasan and Greg’s stories, you should be on the watch for what will come from this.
