Andrew Lane teaches "Directing Actors for the Screen" this summer.
Andrew Lane has produced over 25 feature films and movies for television including Valley Girl, Night of the Comet and Jake Speed. He has written part or all of most of those titles as well as having written for other producers and studios. He has directed numerous films including MGM’s Mortal Passions (winner at Deauville and Sundance competition entry), Lonely Hearts and original movies for CBS and Showtime.
He is currently the Chair of the Directing Department at the North Carolina School of the Arts School of Filmmaking and is a member of the adjunct faculty of the USC School of Cinematic Arts.
"This is the aspect of visual storytelling most filmmakers know least about! This is where the learning curve is steepest and the results of this learning experience are the most profoundly positive and immediately useful for developing directors. No lie.
This class is incredibly helpful for not only directors, but writers, editors and producers as well.
You will come out of this class a better filmmaker in surprising ways. You will surprise yourself.
And almost as importantly, it's a lot of fun.
You will work with professional actors all throughout the term. You'll learn how to evaluate performances and how to communicate with the actors in ways they understand and give you what you want." - Andy Lane

How much of the actual film making process will be done outside of class.
There will be one short movie assignment that will culminate the term. That movie is to give you an opportunity to put to use what you have learned in the class. So virtually all the time spent working with actors and discussing directing actors is done in the classroom (on a sound stage with standing sets and furniture).
What are a few actors that will be working with the students?
