Max and Warner Bros. Discovery gave artists who hadn’t previously gotten the opportunity to create original work for a network. It teamed up with community partners like Rise Up Animation, LatinX in Animation, Asians in Animation, imagineNATIVE and more to advocate and generate nearly 1,100 submissions. Eight projects were selected, and creators were paired with executive mentors across WBD’s portfolio. All eight projects later streamed on Max under the “Only You: An Animated Shorts Collection.”
