About
The Sony Pictures Television Directors' Program is designed to identify and cultivate a rich pipeline of emerging directors to work within SPT and across the studio. SPT Diverse Directors Program Participants are folded into the Sony Pictures ecosystem through meetings with Development Executives, Current Executives, Creative Producers and Showrunners along with workshops, mentorship and career coaching. Once fully immersed at SPT, our directors will be embedded into a show to continue their education and create strong working relationships with our Executive Producers.
