The Producers Guild of America (PGA) has set the producers and producing teams invited to join the PGA Create lab for emerging and mid-career creative producers. “As Chairs of the One Guild initiative committed to supporting inclusive membership, employment, content, and authentic depictions, we are thrilled for this year’s PGA Create and the program’s continued evolution and growth over the years,” said Producers Guild members Tonya Lewis Lee, Lori McCreary, and Shelby Stone. “Uplifting the next generation of producers by providing them the tools, resources, and connections they need for this profession is life-changing.

We are proud of PGA Create for its intentional work to ensure the next generation of producers includes diverse creators with unique perspectives.” PGA Create, which runs from Monday, June 3 through June 6, offers fellows the opportunity to hone their pitches, attend master classes led by experienced producers, and expand their network of fellow producers.

The program is designed to provide touchpoints for one year, including an invitation for participants to reconvene in person during the Guild’s signature Produced By Conference, hosted this year at the Fox Studio Lot on Saturday, June 8, 2024.
