AT&T has unveiled the new line-up of mentors for its 2018 Hello Lab Mentorship Programme, which 'pairs entertainment industry leaders with aspiring filmmakers from groups traditionally underrepresented in entertainment' to create a series of short signature films, debuting on the Hello Lab channel later this year.

This year's mentors include Lena Waithe, Common, Taika Waititi, Tessa Thompson and Rachel Morrison, and Waithe commented 'The only way change can happen is by helping to create it... We're here to help [the aspiring filmmakers] find their place in this business and tell their story'.
