Warner Bros. is giving voice to the next generation of storytellers and filmmakers through a new partnership with the Los Angeles Unified School District and nonprofits Young Storytellers and Ghetto Film School. The collective effort will create two in-school programs, Story Lab and First Cut, spearheaded by the studio’s social impact platform, WB Good. The initiatives have already had a test run through 10-week programs piloted in 16 middle and high schools across Los Angeles. The partnership offers students the chance to gain awareness of career opportunities in the entertainment business and storytelling skills that could be a stepping stone to work as writers and filmmakers. More than 30 teachers and 1,500 students took part in the pilot programs that will continue in the 2018-19 school year.
