About us

With a focus on building a more inclusive entertainment industry, Disney is looking for experienced writers and directors from underrepresented backgrounds with diverse and/or with varied perspectives, including but certainly not limited to women, people of color, the LGBTQ community, various religious groups, military veterans, people with disabilities and others, to produce a short in the Disney Launchpad: Shorts Incubator program. As we consider the impact of the global pandemic on our everyday lives, the multifaceted value and importance of “connection” has never been clearer. For Season II of our program, we look to tell stories that explore this theme in surprising and unexpected ways. In the Launchpad program, writers and directors will be paired with Disney creative executives who will serve as mentors. Additionally, with the full support of the studio behind them, they will learn how to creatively collaborate and work effectively with their studio partners. Select shorts will have the opportunity to live on Disney+ and it is possible that they may be considered for further development for long-form or episodic motion pictures, based on the short’s quality, performance on the platform, future arcs, and other factors, though future development is not guaranteed.
