Saul Zaentz was a Hollywood producer who won three Academy Awards for Best Picture: "The English Patient," "Amadeus," and "One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest." He died in 2014, leaving behind a foundation that, among other things, established a new film incubator at Johns Hopkins University. Launched in March with a $1 million grant, the Saul Zaentz Innovation Fund in Film and Media supports prospective filmmakers and audio/visual artists who submit ideas for projects and get some mentoring before going into production. We hear about some of the fellows and their unique projects from Roberto Busó-GarcÃa, director of the fund and the Hopkins Master of Arts in Film " Media program.Links:http://articles.latimes.com/2014/jan/04/entertainment/la-et-mn-saul-zaentz-oscar-winning-producer-dead-at-92-20140104http://zaentzfund.com/http://krieger.jhu.edu/film-media/directory/roberto-buso-garcia/
