Alliance of Women Directors and Starz Launch Creative Leadership Lab to Support Female TV Directors (EXCLUSIVE)

Starz and Alliance of Women Directors launch the Creative Leadership Lab to boost women and gender-expansive episodic TV directors.
The four-week program targets directors at a transition point after their first episodic opportunity but before repeat hires.
Six AWD members will be selected through an independent evaluation process for the program.
Participants will receive mentorship, leadership training and tools to navigate episodic production.
The program includes a public panel at AWD’s directing intensive, Back to Set.
Applications for the Creative Leadership Lab are expected to open later this month.
The announcement aligns with Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day.
The initiative supports Starz’s broader efforts to amplify stories by and about women and underrepresented groups on screen and behind the camera.
AWD will publicly showcase participants through events linked to its ‘Back to Set’ program.
The alliance will use select participants to build sustainable careers in television directing.
