“I’m immensely grateful for all the guidance, solutions, examples, and resources. I’ve received numerous mentorships trainings in producing, 1st AD’ing, and running my production company. This is the first time I’ve received mentorship and training for normalizing policies, safer communication, leading crews, and projects I work with. Adapting my mindset from having power to not having power over people makes me feel safer as a producer and CEO of my company. I never knew that was an option before.”
