Overview

MPI’s four-day Directing Workshop is led by experienced directors and is designed exclusively for participants of MPI Screenwriting Workshops who have written scripts that MPI is considering acquiring for production.

The course teaches the skills needed to effectively manage a crew, communicate with a cast, and prepare for pre-production, production, and post-production. Participants rehearse scenes from their scripts and run mock casting sessions. At the end of the workshop, each director’s final product receives critical feedback from the instructor and other participants.

“This workshop felt like film school in a month. We had prestigious directors giving us direct, almost one-on-one attention and were able to think deeply about our scripts in a way we’d never have the ability to do without MPI’s support.”
