What Will I Learn?

Documentary Directing Training gives you a clear, practical roadmap to plan and direct a focused 30–40 minute film, from selecting compelling characters and structuring a three-act narrative to designing key scenes that reveal conflict and change. You will develop a concrete shoot plan, refine visual and sound strategies, handle ethics and consent with confidence, and shape a distinct point of view grounded in solid research and community engagement.
