Our directors track has your local mentors guiding you through the writing, shooting, and editing process. Additonally, every student goes in with a dream mentor, an industry veteran located in Los Angeles. Get ready to pitch your project because we’ll be flying you out to L.A. during the last week of your studies to have your own Hollywood pitch meeting.
