Advisor Studio sessions feature intimate, moderated conversations with Sundance Advisors who are working artists and media industry professionals that contribute their expertise to the Collab community via courses, classes, office hours and events. In the Studio events, Advisors share field experiences and insights into their specific areas of craft, including writing, directing and producing for TV and film.

Join us as we take a deep dive into the art and craft of writing and directing in our Advisor Q&A Live with Angela Tucker (ALL STYLES, (A)SEXUAL) . Angela is a writer, director and Emmy-nominated producer whose work spans both fiction and non-fiction, across film and television. After building an impressive body of work in the documentary world, Angela turned to her passion for fiction filmmaking in 2018 by co-writing and directing her first full length feature, ALL STYLES. In this candid conversation, Angela will explain how to get the writing process started, share tips on how to write and direct your first narrative feature film, explain why she feels pre-production is so important, and reveal how she navigated the challenges that arose during script development and filming. We'll conclude with her thoughts on why creatives shouldn't box themselves into a particular role, format, or genre.
