CBS at OPICA
Leadership Pipeline Challenge
OPICA Comes Out On Top!
Lori Erickson, VP of Casting at CBS Studios created an initiative called the CBS Leadership Pipeline Challenge with the goal of empowering early-career storytellers to step into creative leadership positions. They are now in year-two of the challenge.

The project creates a short film for the benefit of a local nonprofit; the content of the short film must align with the mission of the nonprofit and be narrative fiction (not a commercial, PSA or music video). A panel of entertainment industry judges score the films to determine which nonprofits win donations, and the nonprofit owns the film at the end of the experience.

The five non-profits in this year’s Pipeline Challenge are FEAST, Friends of the LA River, My Friend’s Place, Painted Brain and OPICA. The participants’ short films were inspired by their missions.

OPICA is very excited to have been voted 1st place!!!

The amazing OPICA Team of filmmakers are: Daryn Wakasa, Durand Williams, Rosa Navarrete, Deborah Alvarez, Oscar Loreto Jr., and Ada Rannels. Thank you to all of you.
