February 27 and 28 special Guest Jordana Brewster (D.E.B.S.) spoke to the class, bringing her special insight regarding actors working with directors. Thirty attendees – including students who flew in from NY, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Canada and Germany – spent a jam-packed weekend with director Angela Robinson to learn her short-cuts and recommendations about directing. “The directors job is to make the audience feel” Robinson expressed to the group in her opening presentation. Then she spent the next two days teaching everyone how that is achieved, how directing is best performed and what it takes to get the job done.
Participant Fontessa de Ridder who flew in from San Francisco said “Angela manages to give a point of view on film from the writing, directing and acting perspective. It’s impressive and SO educational!”
