Fundamentals of Directing: From Visualization to Post-Production – 4 Part Lab (September 2026)

Ever wonder what actually separates a good director from a great one? It's not talent alone — it's process. That's exactly what Heath Cullens is here to teach in our brand new 4-part lab, Fundamentals of Directing: From Visualization to Post-Production, kicking off Wednesday, September 9th. Heath has directed for IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, FX's YOU'RE THE WORST, Comedy Central's IDIOTSITTER, and Hulu's DEADBEAT — and he's breaking down his entire process, from developing your visual style to managing post-production notes, so you can walk onto your next set (or into your next edit bay) fully prepared.

Whether you're prepping your first micro-budget feature, gearing up to direct a TV episode, or just want to sharpen your pre-production and on-set skills, this lab covers it all — text analysis, shot lists, camera basics, working with actors, and more. Plus, you'll walk away with exclusive downloadable handouts (camera bible, shot lists, mood board templates, and more) you can use on every project going forward.
