The Director's Journey

The Director’s Journey covers the entire process of directing a feature film from script to screen, from concept to completion. This Master Class is a discussion; demonstration and analysis of every creative step the film director must take in the realization of a film.

Directing a film is a complex network of creative collaborations. There are hundreds of artists who are involved in the creation and completion of the film and they are all lead by the singular vision of the director. How the director communicates, inspires, challenges and supports each artist will determine the quality and integrity of the final product.

During the Master Class, a feature script is used as a model so that each student can analyze, prepare and communicate his/her vision of the film. Concurrently, portions of the feature film are viewed, analyzed and deconstructed giving each student an intimate insight into the art and craft of its director.

Topics and areas covered in The Director’s Journey include:
- Script Analysis
- Working with the Writer
- Forming The Creative Team
- The Casting Process
- The Actor/Director Relationship
- The Rehearsal Process

- Working with the Cinematographer
