From shadow to set. 🎬

Opening Doors for Emerging Directors panel, presented by Sony Pictures Entertainment, offered an insightful look at how director shadowing programs can create real pathways into the industry.

Our panelists shared their firsthand experiences shadowing on set, the lessons and relationships they gained along the way, and how these opportunities can impact the trajectory of an emerging director’s career.

A great conversation filled with insight, access and practical advice for the next generation of filmmakers.
