Disney Opens Submissions for 'Launchpad' Season 3, Seeking Underrepresented Filmmakers for Shorts Incubator Program.
Members in the program work closely with a Disney creative executive to make live-action shorts to possibly premiere on Disney+. “‘Launchpad’ gave me the opportunity to really stretch myself as a director—working on stunts and collaborating with Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) on my visual effects is something I could have only dreamed of doing before,” said Erica Eng, director of “The Ghost.” “The program works hard to set us up for success even after the program has ended, and I’m really thankful for their support as a filmmaker.” Season 2 of “Launchpad” was released on Sept. 29, 2023, and followed the theme “connection.” Its films included “Beautiful,” “FL,” “Black Belts,” “Maxine,” “Project CC,” “The Ghost” and “The Roof.”
