Rising Voices

Indeed’s Rising Voices, in partnership with Emmy Award-winning writer, creator and actor Lena Waithe and her company Hillman Grad Productions and 271 Films, is back with its fourth season. Indeed knows that talent is universal, opportunity is not–which is why this program focuses on providing new opportunities to discover, invest in, and amplify stories created by Bipoc filmmakers. 

Ten filmmakers were selected from over 700 applicants to create short films around the singular theme “the future of work.” Indeed truly believes that the world can work better and a key component of that vision is extending opportunity to all people - and we’ve been able to create over 2,000 jobs for creatives, cast, and crew over the past four seasons. 

Hailed as the “Gold Standard” by Forbes with over 170 festival selections and awards for the films, and over 20 awards for the program, including 5 Telly Awards and Drum Award's "Change Maker of the Year."
