The director is the guide, the inspiration and the focus that can shepherd hundreds of artists through the most chaotic, complex collaboration imaginable. But how does one person draw all these individuals together to realize a single vision?
Directing Feature Films takes you through the entire creative process of filmmaking — from concept to completion. You will learn how to really read a script, find its core, determine your vision and effectively communicate with writers, actors, designers, cinematographers, editors, composers and all the members of your creative team to ensure that vision reaches the screen.
