Workshops for the Sony Television Pictures Directors Program is set to begin in June and will center on instruction from working directors and production professionals.

Of those 20 semi-finalists, three will have an opportunity to shadow TV directors on various scenes and receive a weekly stipend. Participants will also be invited back to direct an episode of a scripted TV series the following season.

Diversity on all levels is a central focus to many of our programs,” said Paul Martin, SVP and Chief Diversity Officer at Sony Pictures Entertainment, “and we fully believe that the Diverse Directors Program will not only provide access and experience to a diverse group of potential directors but will also become a key component of Sony Pictures’ business strategy.”
