The Producers Guild of America (PGA) is pleased to announce the eighth annual "Power of Diversity" Workshop, which will run from May 14 through July 29 in Los Angeles. This highly successful program is designed to foster the development of aspiring producers who bring diverse perspectives to television, film and digital media.

The annual workshop provides ten selected participants with unique access to top industry talent for discussions and seminars about the producing craft. Participants are supported by one-on-one mentoring sessions with members of the Guild's Diversity Committee. Topics are tailored to the participating producers and their projects, and will include all aspects of producing such as story development, pitching, packaging,financing, marketing and digital media.

"Entertainment programming plays a critical role in shaping our view of the world and the people around us, so it's important that the stories we help bring to life as producers reflect the diversity of world in which we live," said workshop chair Deborah Calla, who also chairs the PGA Diversity Committee. "The PGA Diversity Committee is excited to offer this one-of-a-kind workshop to yet another group of emerging producers, and we are grateful to all the mentors who selflessly devote their time and expertise to help shape the projects of promising talent."

Past mentors have included such top producing talent as Bruce Cohen ("Pushing Daisies," MILK, AMERICAN BEAUTY), Mark Gordon ("Grey's Anatomy," SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, 2012), Marshall Herskovitz (DEFIANCE, BLOOD DIAMOND, THE LAST SAMURAI), Damon Lindelof (LOST, STAR TREK, COWBOYS & ALIENS),Caryn Mandabach ("Nurse Jackie," "That 70's Show," "In With The Flynns"), LoriMcCreary (INVICTUS, THE MAIDEN HEIST), Shonda Rhimes ("Grey's Anatomy," "Private Practice"), Darren Star ("Sex in the City," "90210") Mike Tollin ("Smallville," "One Tree Hill," RADIO) and Ralph Winter (X-MEN, FANTASTIC 4), among many
others.

Submissions for the PGA's "Power of Diversity" Workshop are now open and will close
on April 20 at 5:00pm. Applicants may be emerging creative voices or those wellestablished
in their careers. Up to ten participants will be selected to take part in the workshop at no charge. Past participants have gone on to join such shows as "Grey's Anatomy," "The Unit" and "Justified" as well as to produce films and other selfproduced work.
