Deepen your knowledge of the craft in this two-day workshop in Wellington, run by DEGNZ. Experienced director Charlie Haskell (pictured in action below) will provide a practical guide to emerging directors as to what the craft of directing is really all about. It will cover such topics as understanding the script, telling the story visually, inspiring great performances and running an inspirational set. There will be an emphasis on effective communication and how to get the best out of the creative team, and of course, how to deal with the ticking clock. Charlie has been a freelance director for the past 25 years, initially specialising in action as a Second Unit Director before moving on to drama. He has directed on a wide variety of local and international productions, such as Power Rangers, The Almighty Johnsons, telefeature Tangiwai - A Love Story and docudrama Pirates of the Airwaves. Recently, Charlie directed two episodes of the Danish/NZ co-production Straight Forward, as well as being lead director on Germany/NZ co-production The Gulf.
