*Issa Rae and her management and production company ColorCreative, will collaborate with Tubi to mentor emerging filmmakers.
According to Vibe, three creatives will be crowned as Stubiorunners after joining Tubi’s “Stubios” program, which is described as a fan-driven studio and audience-centric platform dedicated to aspiring filmmakers and their supporters.
Per the press statement, “Stubios passes the camera to anyone who has a story to tell and puts the power to greenlight in the hands of the viewer.”
“Tubi is free entertainment for the cordless generation, and we’re committed to a programming strategy that resonates with younger and diverse audiences,” said Anjali Sud, CEO of Tubi.
“Tubi has the unique advantage of the world’s largest library of movies and TV series, and the insights we gain from viewers telling us what they want to watch. Stubios is a way to give creatives with invested fanbases an opportunity to tell stories that may not otherwise be greenlit in Hollywood, and it will enable Tubi to ensure our programming reflects culture as it is happening.”

According to Vibe, rapper Lady London is the first participant in the program.
The program’s projects will go live on the app this month.
