QUOTES FROM PAST MENTEES
"The best part of the mentorship program was being able to talk with a professional who had been through the industry -- and is still busily working...It's been amazing to form a personal link with an accomplished filmmaker who was so gracious and willing to be of help if and when I do go out to California."
- Sonia Schnee '09
"It was a rare and special opportunity to take advantage of a resource offered to Dartmouth students who have creative interests."
- Zakieh Bigio '10
"For me, the advice [about the entertainment industry] was very sobering and made me aware of some of the challenges I would eventually face."
- Ziye Lin '09 (Ziye Lin has since worked in creative development on major motion pictures at Columbia Pictures and now works in the agency world at William Morris Endeavor / WME)
*The program is open to mentees and mentors living on the East and West U.S. coasts.
