Where do all great relationships stem from? Trust, heart and belief. It is very important who you have around you, who you communicate ideas to, and how they can help you bring those ideas to life. Sit down with us as a Director and Director of Photography discuss the power of this union and how it can make or break any production.

We will go over:

  • The Role of the Director

  • The Role of the Director of Photography

  • Communicating vision

  • Technical execution

  • Finding the right creative fit

  • Building Trust

  • Elevating and pushing each other’s vision

  • Building a team

Q&A will follow the discussion. Each virtual class is fun, interactive and we welcome your heart, vision and questions. This will be a great opportunity to learn and connect with others within your artistic community as well.
