Posters for the six shorts part of the second season of Disney's Launchpad have been released ahead of their September 29th debut on Disney+.
What’s Happening:
- Disney+ unveiled posters for Season 2 of Disney’s Launchpad, a collection of six short films from underrepresented filmmakers whose unique and evocative voices bring new perspectives to storytelling.
- This season showcases six writers, five directors and one writer-director from underrepresented backgrounds who were given the opportunity to share their perspectives and creative visions.
- Continuing the goal of Disney’s first season of Launchpad, which was to diversify the types of stories that are being told by giving access to those who historically have not had it, Launchpad Season 2 is proud to present six new shorts for Disney+ based on the theme of “connection.”
- Panavision again provided the camera and lens packages for the six original shorts, and Light Iron, Panavision’s post-production division, provided dailies, final color and finishing services for all of Season 2.
