How does the AFI DCL application and selection process work for mentors?
The AFI DCL recruits and accepts applications from digital media professionals who want to lend their expertise to the development of a digital application for a content property accepted into the AFI DCL. Mentor applications are available online, and are accepted any time for an upcoming production cycle. Production cycles being on a quarterly basis, and production takes place year-round. The AFI DCL, in discussion with the applying mentor, assigns selected mentors to a project that best suits their expertise and the production needs of the AFI DCL. Mentors will be notified at least one month in advance of the beginning of the production quarter for which they are assigned to a production. Mentor applications are valid for one year from the time of submission.
