Directing IV: Director's Cut

Catalog description

Director’s Cut gives you the opportunity to screen cuts of your 2nd Year films and receive critical feedback from four full time Directing faculty. All 2nd Year students attend a weekly group session Weeks 2-9. At the conclusion of the group class, you will have an Evaluation screening with the entire Graduate Film Faculty. The Evaluation cut is a fine cut which cannot exceed TEN (10) minutes in length. After evaluation the class breaks in smaller sections to work on a polish to be screened at the Second Year Showcase, after the end of the classes. You will begin sections with your individual Directing instructors Week 10, the week before Evaluations, and continue them the last 3 weeks of class after Evals. These 4 weeks are dedicated to refining your ten-minute film in preparation for the Second Year Showcase screening. During this time, your individual Instructor may or may not assign a small directing exercise, to be shot with drop-in equipment.
