Stanley Nelson’s Firelight Films and Hulu have unveiled the recipients for the second annual Hulu/Firelight Kindling Fund, which awards filmmakers $25,000 to develop an original nonfiction documentary, feature film or limited series for a first look with Firelight and Hulu.

This year’s recipients are Byron Hurt for his films “The Wildcat Way” and “Murder of a Drum Major,” and lyric r. cabral for his untitled possibility project.

“Firelight Films is proud to select Byron Hurt and lyric r. cabral for our second Hulu/Firelight Kindling Fund cohort,” said Nelson. “These are two filmmakers I’ve long admired and whose work has been previously supported by our sister organization, Firelight Media. With these projects, each filmmaker brings their unique talents and perspectives to urgent stories from within their communities, seeking narrative justice for the protagonists.”
