For Directors

With astonishing clarity Mark Travis articulates the techniques and skills of film directing.

John Badham, Director, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER

Directors,
Learn how to:

  • Get brilliant rewrites from screenwriters, even under pressure
  • Create a more effective and efficient casting process
  • Generate mind-blowing authentic performances, even from non-actors
  • Deliver on time and under budget
  • Effortlessly manage on set chaos
  • Get every shot you need for post-production

For Writers

I made a common mistake thinking I knew my own script simply because I wrote it. Working with Mark forces you to go much deeper than the simple text on the page.  Without this sort of work, you're winging it without even knowing it.
