MOVIES - July 3, 1989

Paramount Studios and comedian Eddie Murphy will be granting fellowships next summer to film school graduates in three areas of film making: screenwriting, producing and directing. In all, four fellows will receive a year’s salary and will work with studio professionals in development, writing and distribution. The fellows will be chosen by Paramount executives in August, 1990, from students earning degrees between April, 1989, and June, 1990. Graduate schools participating in the program are at American Film Institute, UCLA, USC, Columbia University and New York University. Murphy is supporting a minority outreach effort, and the Paramont/Eddie Murray Fellowship will go to a graduating senior at a college with significant minority enrollment.
