EXCLUSIVE: Showrunner Tanya Saracho and UCP (a division of Universal Studio Group) have selected 5 inaugural fellows for the Ojalá Ignition Lab: Diana Peralta, Luca Rojas, Melba Silwany, Samantha Renee Cordero, and Stephanie Adams-Santos.
Over the course of 26-weeks—beginning Jan. 11—, each fellow will have the opportunity to tell the story they want to tell and develop an original, polished television pilot script from start to finish, which will be commissioned by UCP.
The fellows will gather virtually on a weekly basis to share and receive constructive feedback on each other’s material, as well as receive support and feedback from Ojalá and UCP executives. They’ll also attend monthly speaker panels to gain industry insight from showrunners and producers. Upon completion of the Lab, fellows will have an amplified professional profile and meaningful industry peers and allies to help cultivate exciting collaborations and opportunities long into the future.
“I am extremely proud to announce our inaugural fellows, and to have these incredibly talented Latine storytellers form the first assembly of the Ojalá Ignition Lab,” Saracho said. “Along with bestowing them with a culturally safe space to empower and amplify their original voices, this incubator provides the recipients with financial compensation to develop their project as well as other resources that will aid in their success in substantial and tangible ways. I’m incredibly honored to be able to impart this opportunity, in partnership with UCP and my Ojalá team, to cultivate the next generation of Latine creators.”
