Directing isn’t about telling people what to do. It’s about creating space for something real to happen. In this course, I’ll take you behind the camera and inside rehearsals from my films, showing how to bring out raw, honest performances, even when time or resources are against you. You’ll learn how to communicate with actors, earn their trust, and make your set feel alive with emotion and purpose. By the end, you won’t just know how to direct. You’ll know how to lead with purpose.
