Two nonprofit organizations devoted to supporting emerging filmmakers and creatives have teamed with Adobe to launch career development programs.

Rideback RISE , the creative incubator established by producer Dan Lin in 2022, and Highways Lab have joined forces to execute the Highways Lab Directors Program and the Gloria Schoemann Program.

The director program will offer a $50,000 grant and other support to help emerging filmmakers complete a short film.

The Schoemann initiative targets mid-career editors who are bilingual in English and Spanish to receive mentorship and exposure in the industry. It’s named for the prolific Mexican editor who cut many of Mexico’s Golden Age movies in the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s.

Highways Lab is an initiative created by actress and producer Olga Segura.
