Proof of Concept, an accelerator program supporting women, trans and nonbinary filmmakers, has announced its second cohort. The program was founded by Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, Emmy-nominated producer Coco Francini and Dr. Stacy L. Smith. It is supported by Netflix.

The initiative focuses on providing opportunities for underrepresented voices in the film industry. The founders established the program to address systemic issues and foster talent within the entertainment sector. The selection of a new class marks the continuation of the program's mission to support diverse filmmakers.

The eight selected filmmakers announced for this opportunity are Taylor Bakken, Jessica Barr, Asmahan Bkerat, Rachel Goldberg, Jessica Kozak, Alejandra López, and Sam Mandich. These individuals represent the latest group to benefit from the accelerator's resources and mentorship.
