As part of its ongoing efforts to push the industry towards greater diversity, the Directors Guild has graduate 34 members from its Television Director Mentorship Program, which pairs members who seek to expand their TV directing careers (protégés) with veteran directors (mentors) who serve as their professional guides to the working world of episodic TV.
Founded in 2018, the nine-month program is part of the DGA’s Director Development Initiative, which focuses on education, networking and career development.
“Through mentorship and in-depth training from seasoned episodic director members, we have created opportunities for members across all DGA categories to deepen their skills and provide a robust pipeline of diverse talent for our industry,” DGA president Lesli Linka Glatter said. “My personal thanks to our terrific mentors who have so willingly supported the guild’s commitment to providing opportunities for the next generation of storytellers.”
