Issa Rae is dedicated to providing emerging filmmakers with the resources and guidance they need to thrive. Through a collaboration with Tubi and Rae’s management and production company ColorCreative, three creatives will be granted the title of Stubiorunners. They will participate in the Stubios program, which is described as a fan-driven studio and viewer-centric platform for aspiring filmmakers and their fans.
As explained in a press statement,“Stubios passes the camera to anyone who has a story to tell and puts the power to greenlight in the hands of the viewer.” The projects are scheduled to go live on the app this month.
The stubiorunners will receive support on their scripts, one-on-one mentor calls with Issa, and creative production assistance from ColorCreative.
Films and series that were developed from the program will be distributed and promoted on Tubi. Participants will be given an executive producer credit and earn a flat fee for their original IP and the work on the project.Submissions are currently open.
