Being a great director is all about having a cohesive vision, a plan and clear communication to execute. Your vision is not only paramount on set but starts in development and goes all the way through post-production. Whether you're directing a big-budget blockbuster, an episode of TV, or your first micro-budget independent feature, your creative vision and how you communicate it is the foundation you build on.

Over four interactive sessions in this exclusive Stage 32 directing class, accomplished director Heath Cullens will show you how to develop your own visual style and point of view, have an understanding of your overall role as the director, go through everything involved in pre-production, how to communicate with your cast and crew, determine when you've "got the shot," and have the knowledge needed to work with your editor and receive notes from producers and investors.

Heath is a wealth of knowledge earned from working on acclaimed series, including IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, YOU'RE THE WORST, AP BIO, and many more. Heath is sharing the methods he's built over his years of experience with you. You will leave this class with the confidence, skills, and techniques needed to be a great director. The information doesn't stop with each session, either. You will continue to have exclusive access to Heath via email for the duration of the class. 

Plus! Heath will provide you with a series of exclusive and helpful handouts to take with you and use when directing your next project. Downloads include:

• Camera style guide
