HPD in Directing

Becoming a director requires an understanding of the entire filmmaking process. Much like a master of ceremonies, a film director must manage a wide variety of departments and individuals to ultimately create a satisfying production. The director is someone with an intimate understanding of what each department does and needs to accomplish, someone who can lead each department towards functioning as a whole.

W Pictures Academy uses a hands-on directing curriculum to immerse students in the wide range of skills and knowledge that a director can draw on to tell a visual story. The film directing program is designed to immerse aspiring directors in the realities of their craft, placing them in every role imaginable with a focus on developing their directorial voice. In a single year at W Pictures Academy, directing students will write, shoot, direct, and edit some of their original films while serving in a variety of crew positions in other productions.

Our students can expect to find themselves behind the camera from the first semester of school studying with W Pictures Academy. With each faculty tutor member coming from a distinct background and possessing a unique set of expertise, students receive an extremely well-rounded and varied education.

W Pictures Academy offers a conservatory filmmaking program that help a student to hone his or her directorial skills. In addition to working with state-of-the-art equipment, students are guided through the craft of directing by our experienced and professional tutors.
