It was great to see the process that a director takes to get actors where they want them to be. Ela, you have a wonderful gift of drawing things out of people that they never thought existed.

The Film Directing
CRASH COURSE
with Ela Thier
in this training, you'll learn how to:
✦ Choose shots that will make you look like a pro – even if you’ve never directed before.
✦ Fully maximize the moving camera – even experienced directors underutilize it.
✦ Lead your actors to powerful and believable performances – consistently.
You won’t be on camera. Sweatpants welcome 😉
FREE LIVE TRAINING offered once a year
For all levels, including none. If you can’t make the time listed above, join and I’ll send a replay.
I’ve truly never seen anything like it… and I’ve sat through thousands of hours of classes.
FRANK LEWALLEN · Director & actor
My short would be absolutely unwatchable and very probably uncuttable without your course. You are really great at explaining things and sharing your knowledge.
