I know this because I became one.
I didn’t go to film school.
Before I directed my first feature, I had directed NOTHING. No short films, no music videos, no commercials, no documentaries. Nothing.
But I had a vision for the film I had written – and I went for it.
The result?
The first film I directed, Obselidia, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and won two awards. It went on to play at dozens of highly esteemed festivals around the world and was nominated for two Independent Spirit Awards.
I’ve gone on to direct two more films, including Bleeding Heart starring Jessica Biel, Zosia Mamet and Harry Hamlin.
For years before all this – I didn’t dare to believe that *I* could direct.
Write a screenplay? Maybe….but DIRECT a movie?!
I didn’t know anything about cameras, lenses, lights or effects (spoiler alert: I STILL DON’T. As a director: you don’t need to).
What you do need to know is EVERYTHING that I’m going to share with you in this masterclass.
After this class, you will be empowered with the tools and knowledge you need not just to confidently do this job – but to really take it to the next level and make a movie that stands out.
I’m so excited to share with you what I’ve learned –
and so excited to see your movies!
