Ghetto Film School, in partnership with Madison Wells, is launching the Ghetto Film School Melissa Rucker Fund for young filmmakers.
The fund honors Rucker, the former producer and development executive at Madison Wells who was committed to inclusivity in the industry. Rucker passed away late last year after nurturing the careers and stories of playwrights Minhal Baig and Molly Smith Metzler, directors Haifaa al-Mansour and Tina Mabry, novelist Emma Straub and several others. She’s credited with advocating for new talent, especially creatives from underrepresented backgrounds.
The organizations will hold the first-ever New Voices: The Melissa Rucker Conversations on Thursday to raise money for the Ghetto Film School Melissa Rucker Fellows Fund. Madison Wells’ founder Gigi Pritzker will moderate with writer-artist Ricardo Gamboa, Karen Horne (WarnerMedia) and Rishi Rajani (Hillman Grad Productions) as they discuss ways to support and encourage young filmmakers. Access to the panel is invitation only.
