Studios Directors Program

The Apple Studios Directors Program is an initiative focused on expanding opportunities for mid-career directors across the United States. Our goal is to identify innovative visionaries with a broad range of perspectives and give them a front row seat to Apple Studios productions and opportunities to network. 

The six-month program offers masterclasses focused on building and sustaining a career as a working episodic director. The program will feature discussions with seasoned industry professionals focusing on the craft and business of directing, opportunities to participate as a visiting director on an Apple Studios series, and a one-of-a-kind experience in Apple Park tailored to inspire innovation and creativity.

At Apple, we create a culture of collaboration where different experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives come together to make something magical and meaningful. The program is open to individuals from all backgrounds, and we continue to make selection decisions based on qualifications in compliance with applicable laws.

The application portal opens on October 6, 2025 at 9:00am PDT and closes on October 12, 2025 at 11:59pm PDT. The link to the portal will be available here when the application window opens.
