Unlock Your Potential as an Actor-Director
From concept to post-production, you’ll learn how to write, direct, and star in your own films with confidence.
The Independent Auteur Masterclass
Actors Direct Tier 2 is a directing masterclass for actors that guides you through conception to completion of a film with Catherine Black’s personalized review throughout the course.
- The Ultimate Review: The actor-director preps a short film, a proof-of-concept, or a high-end scene to direct and star in themselves. Catherine Black provides personalized review of all assignments and a meticulous critique.
- The Distribution & Festival Strategy Audit: A 1-on-1 session to ensure your project is sharp enough to act as a calling card for LA agents, managers, and film festivals.
A holistic, concise and straightforward directing masterclass curated for actors. Anybody can make a movie, but not everyone can be an artist and make a great film. I want you to make something you’re proud of as an actor-director.
