The next step in helping our alums Create the Future: the Act One Directing Workshop.

In the summer of 2017, we are unveiling one of our most exciting new ventures: the core fundamentals to directing film taught by working directors.

Over the course of six jammed packed days you will:

  • learn role in development, pre-production, and post production
  • learn how to direct actors
  • learn how to work effectively with your cinematographer
  • get hands-on training in visualizing the screenplay
  • see what its like to work with an editor.

Plus your questions about what makes a good director; how to have a career directing film, television, music videos and commercials; what type of leadership skills you need to cultivate; how to create memorable moments; and more will be answered.

Take that step you’ve wanted to take in becoming a director. The Act One Directing Workshop is the proverbial B12 booster shot you need to launch you into your first directing opportunity. Through hands on work with seasoned and experienced directors, we will prepare you for your next career move to being a director.
