Write and Direct Your First Feature Film

FIVE NIGHTS TO KICK-START YOUR FILM CAREER 

Being a writer/director in the film business ensures that your words and vision are translated to the screen exactly as you conceived them. But how do you take your ideas and characters and put them into action?  Raindance Canada is proud to offer an exclusive 5-night course starting September 27th, with Sean McConville, renowned Canadian writer & director of Deadline (2010) starring Brittany Murphy & Thora Birch.   

You don’t need millions of $’s to direct. You don’t need a portfolio of hundreds of commercials or music videos that you've directed in the past.  You simply need a screenplay that matches your available resources in order to be made. That is the secret to starting your career. Sean did exactly that and he’s pleased to share his experiences and advice with Raindance Canada members and course attendees over a five-night series of lectures & workshops during September and October at St. Paul's Church, 227 Bloor St East, Toronto. Learn how to develop your script ideas, how to create a business plan, film schedule and a marketing plan, and participate in the Q&A session with a panel of industry professionals.
