Directing Actors From Casting to Final Cut.

Monday, May 19th at 10am Pacific, I'm giving a live workshop on the Filmmakers Academy platform. "Directing Actors: From Casting to Final Cut."

I love working with actors, and I believe their performances are what truly sell a commercial. I'll be covering everything from initial conversations with casting directors to communicating with editors about the best takes and how to perserve the tone of the spot. So pumped about our Filmmaker Retreat Joshua Tree, this September 25-28. We've only got eight spots left for our intimate group of 15 filmmakers. The whole experience is about defining your creative voice. I've even taken a leadership workshops, and Jeannette and I are committed to helping filmmakers gain career clarity and creative renewal. One-on-one call and free online courses with enrollment.

My cult classic mockumentary, "Dill Scallion" is online so I'm giving 100% of the money to St. Jude Children's Hospital. I've decided to donate the LIFETIME earnings every December, so the donation will grow and grow annually. Thank you.
