having a job"
ERIC VON STROHEIM
The Film Director is one of the most coveted jobs in the
world. If you've got the hunger to make it as a filmmaker, hold
onto it- it's vital to your success.
Film Directing is intense, cutthroat competitive, and
pressure-filled, but if you are successful, it is one of the most
rewarding ways to satisfy your creativity and make a nice
living.
This course is focused on the narrative of directing a film as
well as in its writing, performance and direction. The program
emphasizes the artistic and intellectual intrepidity and motivates
students to use the maximum of their abilities.
The intention is train its students so that they can become film
directors able to express their own film language.
This course
provides its students an accustomed understanding of the process of
all the facets of a film production, from the writing to its
exhibition in the film screen, being focused in the narrative,
visual language, performance, etc.
Students will learn how to collaborate with screenwriters and
producers; they will work with professional actors and incorporate
their own visions to the visions of cinematographers, production
designers and editors in all the projects they participate.
