In this interactive 60-minute session, Lazar shares practical methods directors can use to lead creative collaborations with their cinematographers, regardless of their technical expertise. You’ll learn to find subtext in a scene, link it to effective visual methods, and gain authority through your understanding of the story. The session ends with a Q&A session, where audience members ask questions to gain insights tailored to their own filmmaking journey.

For this Spotlight Event, Fleck and Boden will discuss their journey from making a short to their first feature, the art of collaboration, and the differences between directing film and television.
