Back in 2019, Disney announced the creation of its Disney Launchpad: Shorts Incubator program. This was designed to give up to six directors from underrepresented backgrounds the chance to produce original live-action short films.
Disney put a call out for applications to the public, encouraging diverse voices to apply — those chosen for the program were paired with mentors from the Walt Disney Company. The short films would eventually be shown on Disney+.
Now it’s time for those six directors’ visions to be seen. Disney+ announced that Launchpad Shorts would debut on the streaming service on May 28th.
