Half Initiative: Director's Shadowing Program

Half Initiative provides an educational Director Shadowing Program in which professional episodic directors on every Ryan Murphy Production mentor emerging and mid-career women, BIPOC, LGBTQ, non-binary and minority directors (mentees). Accepted mentee directors are placed on a Ryan Murphy Production to shadow the director from pre-production through post, on a single episode. Mentees receive a significant stipend for their commitment. These funds provided critical funding for travel, lodging, and daycare for working mothers, allowing mentees to meet personal financial obligations while gaining unprecedented access to further education and career growth. After shadowing, mentees continue their education by attending ongoing panels, workshops and networking opportunities with other mentees to learn from Ryan Murphy Production producers, writers, directors and key department heads. Deadline: June 30, 2024 Please visit to Apply: https://www.halfinitiative.com/programs
