Warner Bros. Discovery Access Early Career Bootcamp

The Warner Bros. Discovery Access Early Career Bootcamp seeks to serve the untapped potential of early career talent who have deep aspirations to work in the entertainment industry, but little access to resources and opportunity.

By building “the pipeline that will feed the pipeline,” we are cultivating a steady flow of future content creators and future executives by providing an inside look at creating, developing, producing, marketing and distributing a TV show at a world-class media company. Socio-economic barriers and lack of access oftentimes prevents talent from even considering a career in Hollywood, so, through this workshop, participants who are keenly interested in what it takes to make a TV show can gain a deeper understanding of the business and learn about the various pathways one can take to get their foot in the door.

In partnership with RespectAbility, IllumiNative, Transgender Film Center, Muslim Public Affairs Council, Asian American Media, National Association of Latino Independent Producers, and the Urban League, the Warner Bros. Discovery Access Early-Career bootcamp will give participants a comprehensive snapshot of the potential careers within the industry. Curriculum will cover the lifespan of a TV show with topics ranging from Network Development to Post-Production, through several roundtable discussions with up-and-coming talent and junior executives. Facilitators will lead practical conversations on breaking-in and offer tangible tools to jump start their careers. Scheduled for August to September, the Early Career Bootcamp furthers WarnerMedia’s commitment to cultivate the next generation of storytellers and give access to all.
