We’re very excited to share details about this special director’s workshop with TV & film director Louise Hooper!
Louise is a Bafta-nominated director whose works spans making BBC Arts documentaries with the likes of David Lynch, Arthur Miller and Bjork to directing dramas like four-part thriller Flesh and Blood and Treason for Netflix. It will be a privilege to hear first-hand the inside scoop on taking the director’s chair on these and blockbusters like The Sandman, The Witcher, and of course the forthcoming Season Two of Amazon’s The Rings of Power.
Directors come in all forms and from all kinds of backgrounds: dancers (Matthew Bourne) artists (Steve McQueen, Tim Burton) playwrights (Florian Zeller) novelists (Alex Garland) fashion designers (Tom Ford) and we love to geek out on little nuggets about how different master artists navigate and solve the multiple problems, creative, organisational, and diplomatic that crop up in bringing a story to its audience.
Directors of all levels can find out more here.
P.S. FYI
What was a salon in 18th century France?
The French salon, a product of The Enlightenment in the early 18th century, was a key institution in which women played a central role. Salons provided a place for women and men to congregate for intellectual discourse.*
*Including intelligent, craft-oriented Q&A, getting stuff on its feet in front of your peers, & fun times.
