Stage 32 4-Part Class: How To Write, Direct & Deliver Your Feature Film

Learn how to see your creative vision on a feature film all the way through from your original concept through final delivery as the writer & director from Martin Guigui, the acclaimed writer/director of SWEETWATER starring Jeremy Piven and Everett Osborne, 911 starring Charlie Sheen and Whoopie Goldberg,  and more!

Plus! You will receive 4 screenplays for movies that Martin has both written and directed!

A lot of people want to write and direct their own movies. Filmmakers like Nora Ephron, Noah Bombach and Martin Guigui have carved a path where they can take a feature film from the initial idea all the way through writing the script and then directing and delivering their film.

However, most people don’t understand just how complex and comprehensive the role of a filmmaker is, especially if they are both the writer and director of a project. You are literally the creative lead through every single part of the process. Wearing the many hats that being a writer-director requires can seem daunting but it can be an immensely fulfilling and rewarding experience…if you know what to do and what to avoid.

That’s why Stage 32 has brought in acclaimed writer-director Martin Guigui himself to teach this 4-session on-demand class to share with you the writer-director blueprint.

Martin Guigui is the co-founder and President of Sunset Pictures and has made over one dozen films, all from scratch. He oversees pre-production, production, and post-production on all of his projects. Martin’s most recent film, SWEETWATER, starring Jeremy Piven, Cary Elwes, and Everett Osborne, was released in theaters in April 2023 and received praise amongst audiences and critics alike. Martin was so hands-on during every aspect of the production of SWEETWATER that he also composed the music for the film.

In substantially more detail than a webinar, Martin will take you through the entire writer-director journey from conceiving the story to pre-production, casting, physical production, editing, coloring, scoring original music, sound design, and ultimately to securing distribution which can also happen early in the process if pre-sales are required to make the budget. A writer-director has to be the driving force behind every step of the process to make sure the finished film is what they had hoped for creatively and shared with a wide audience.

During 4 on-demand sessions, Martin will teach you the writer-director process in great detail from ideation to distribution. You will be connected to Martin directly via email for the duration of the class to ask him questions about his process and get tips on your own projects.

As a filmmaker who has worked on every stage and facet of his projects, Martin will share with you the necessary tips, tricks, and skillset you need to have to successfully helm your own project from script through delivery.

If you are a filmmaker who dreams of writing and directing your own movies and taking the creative lead through the entire production and delivery process, this 4-part class is a must!
