Alfonso Cuaron's last film was released two years ago. The filmmaker is actively looking for his next project, but he is also taking some time to do other kinds of interesting projects that still adhere closely to his profession.

The Academy Award-winning director is signed up to be a film mentor for the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the program "pairs leaders in six artistic fields with emerging talents for a year for support, guidance and collaboration."

Cuaron succeeds Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, who followed Cuaron up as the second Latino to win an Oscar for Best Director for his film "Birdman" last year. Inarritu mentored Israeli filmmaker Tom Shoval. Throughout the mentorship, Inarritu had Shoval observe the post-production for "Birdman" and also had him on the shoot of his the Mexican auteur's upcoming "The Revenant."

Cuaron recently took some time to shoot a video for Loquet London. His short video, followed a slow rhythmic pattern, showing shots on just a fragment of the overall canvas before eventually have a number of images litter the screen to fascinating effect. He is best known for directing "Y Tu Mama Tambien," Children of Men," "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and "Gravity."

Other filmmakers that have been part of the mentorship include Martin Scorsese, Walter Murch, Zhang Yimou, Mira Nair and Stephen Frears. Cuaron is the second Latino to take on the position. There have been two Latino who have been mentored in the program including Josue Mendez and Celena Murga. Murga, an Argentine, was mentored by Scorsese while Mendez, a Peruvian, was under the tutelage of Frears. Mendez's films include Dias de Santiago and Dioses. Dias de Santiago was an official nomination for Peru at the 2006 Academy Awards.

Murga has directed "Ana and the Others," "A Week Alone" and "The Third Side of the River."

There are also mentorships in architectures, visual arts, literature, music dance and theatre.
