NEW FILMMAKERS' DAY - Saturday, September 27

3:00 – 4:30 PM
Directing Master Class (NFD02)

If directing is a synthesis of both artistic and management skill sets, how can you best prepare for your next film? Our guest director will break down their process and explain how to: analyze key moments in each scene; prepare realistic shot lists; track the story's thematic thread; pre-plan a tight structure in each scene yet allow for some improv; collaborate with your team to create a strong style; and turn budget and time restrictions to your advantage.
