Big name Hollywood executives and talent including Sam Raimi, Gianni Nunnari, Patrick Wachsberger and Paula Wagner have joined the “Stars Collective” diversity program launched by Chinese film financier Starlight Media. They will serve as advisors and mentors to emerging and under-represented filmmakers.
Other mentors include: Donna Gigliotti, who recently produced Starlight’s “Wuhan! Wuhan!” documentary; Chris Lee, former president of production at Columbia/TriStar Pictures and producer of “Superman Returns”; Han Sanping, former head of China Film Group and producer of “Mission: Impossible III” and Starlight-backed “Midway”; France’s Eric Heumann (“In the Mood for Love,” “Indochine”); and Ke Liming, producer of “Midway” and Chinese hit “So Young.”
The program was previously announced in August last year with the aim of launching aspiring female and Bipoc filmmakers and creative storytellers. The fund was announced as aiming to support 30-50 emerging filmmakers with a financial pool of at least $50 million.
