As a producer of animated feature films, I have worked with many new directors, and in this circle, we will work on what makes a good director and how to showcase your potential.

Topics of the circle include how to work on your promo reel, your bio/filmography, and how to reach producers in the independent animation world. We will also speak about how to prepare yourself for the challenging role of a director and a healthy long-term career and how to keep the authentic balance between your work as a director and yourself. We will go into detail about topics often not visible to young directors: how a production is chosen, developed, financed, and produced in the real world.

This circle is for young directors with some work experience in directing and who are already well on their way to becoming an animated feature director or considering directing feature films after their initial directing experience.
