Understanding both the craft of directing and the essential steps for navigating the business are key to maintaining a career as a director. Join accomplished director Ken Kwapis, a two-time Emmy nominee with 11 features under his belt and a diverse array of television credits, as he shares lessons learned from a life behind the camera. Using his book, But What I Really Want To Do Is Direct, as a springboard, Ken will cover three broad areas: 1) Things I didn't learn in film school; 2) How to prepare a scene; 3) Becoming a better student of human nature. In this live and interactive three-hour event, the audience will also have the opportunity to ask Ken about his career, the craft of directing in general, and the challenges aspiring directors face today.
