"I am beyond thrilled for the opportunity to participate in the William F. White Production Manager Mentorship in association with WIFT-T. By allowing me to develop new skills, enrich my foundational technical knowledge, deepen my pre-existing relationships with the fantastic team at Whites, and establish new mentors, this program will further enable my passion, as a production manager and producer, to cooperatively create art. Beyond being an invaluable opportunity for my own edification and professional growth, I look forward to applying the knowledge gained from this opportunity within the industry. By empowering young women and aiding in the dissolution of the gendered knowledge gap that's historically plagued technical fields, this mentorship is a massive step in the right direction toward enforcing gender parity in Canadian film and television—I'm honoured to have been named a participant. I couldn't be more excited to arm myself with knowledge that will enable me to become a better informed creator, collaborator, and confidant to fellow filmmakers."
“It’s programs like the William F. White and WIFT-T mentorship program that help to lift women up in this industry, and I could not be more excited and grateful for this opportunity. I look forward to learning from the amazing people at William F. White and connecting with incredible women through WIFT-T. With such strong support, I know that I will leave this program a better, more knowledgeable creator.”
Each and every person I met here greeted me with a smile, asked how they could help, answered my questions and offered to help me whenever I needed in the future. I know coming out of this mentorship that I have a whole army of people behind me who understand that if I am successful then they are successful
This opportunity is made possible through a partnership with William F. White International Inc.
