Upcoming Atlanta Film Society Screenings and Events

Over four Saturdays, filmmakers will step into the dynamic world of actor-director synergy, learning how to lead with clarity, communicate vision with confidence, and shape performances that resonate long after the credits roll. Through scene work, hands-on coaching, and real-time feedback, students will explore advanced directing techniques that professional sets rely on—from emotional safety to artistic risk-taking.

Designed for beginners, this four-week series provides the essential tools, techniques, and creative foundation needed to begin producing your own documentary content.

He has to do something he has never done before.
