“We are a group of impassioned students dedicated to lifting other young diverse creatives into Hollywood by providing them with education, mentorship, community, resources, and access to a vast professional network.”

The hearts of us here at Diverso are with those impacted by the devastating wildfires occurring in LA. In an effort to accommodate for strife caused by these distressing circumstances, we have extended the deadline for applications to our Diverso Fellowship until February 14, 2025. Apply through Coverfly before then!

Los Angeles and film have grown like two fruits along the same vine; the entities are inseparable. Acknowledging this, Diverso would like to extend a hand to all those influenced during these worrisome times and emphasize our organization as a vessel for conversation. As always, feel free to reach out at [email protected] to discuss, rant, ask questions, or offer suggestions as to how we can engage with the LA community at this time. Thank you.
