By signing the breadcrumbs pledge, I commit to incorporating a paid directing mentee position on my sets. I believe the future of our art form depends on inclusion, mentorship, and collective responsibility to open doors for emerging directors. I will use my platform to make mentorship a standard so that more voices are heard in our industry and storytelling itself is strengthened.

IN PRACTICE, THIS MEANS I WILL:

Incorporate a position for a paid directing mentee on my sets, making mentorship a protected and intentional part of my work.

Create pathways for women and non-binary mentees to gain experience, credit, and visibility.
Demystify the realities of directing larger scale, commercial projects.
Normalize mentorship so that it is not an exception but a standard practice across film, television, and commercial productions, making it impossible for studios, production companies, and streamers to deny a director a mentee.
