From: (Press Release) - May 28, 2003
*** Disney Studios & ABC Entertainment Searching for Creative Talent ***
For the fourteenth year, The Walt Disney Studios and ABC Entertainment
are continuing the search to discover and employ creative talent, and to
employ culturally and ethnically diverse writers. They are looking for up to
eleven writers to work full-time developing their craft at The Walt Disney
Studios and ABC Entertainment.
The Walt Disney Studios and ABC Entertainment are equal opportunity
employers and it is their policy not to discriminate on the basis of age,
color, handicap or disability, ancestry, national origin, marital status,
race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, veteran status, or political
affiliation, or on any other unlawful basis in its employment programs.
They will be offering Fellowships in the feature film and television
areas. No previous experience is necessary; however, writing samples are
required. Fellows will each be provided a salary of $50,000 for a one-year
period tentatively scheduled to begin in January 2004. Fellows chosen from
outside of the Los Angeles area will be provided with coach round trip airfare
and one month's accommodations.
Eligibility: This Program is open to all writers. Members of the Writers
Guild of America are eligible for this Program, and should apply directly
through the WGA's Employment Access Department at (323) 782-4648.
