Directing Actors

Wed 16 October 2019   6:00pm - 9:00pm
Part II: Wed 23 October 2019   6:00pm - 9:00pm

This two-hour workshop offers filmmakers an inside look at the art of working with actors. Drawing from my own experience in directing, I will share practical insights on building trust, shaping performances, and finding the balance between vision and collaboration. We will also cover the essentials every director should know: communication tools, rehearsal techniques, and strategies for guiding actors on set. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how to create authentic performances and a more confident approach to working with actors.

Instructor: Antoine Bourges

 Antoine is a Toronto-based filmmaker originating from Paris, France. His shorts "Woman Waiting" (2010) and "William in White Shirt" (2015), along with his medium-length film "East Hastings Pharmacy" (2012), have screened at festivals across North America and Europe, including the Berlinale, SXSW, the Viennale and TIFF. He has recently completed his first feature "Fail to Appear", which premiered at VIFF in 2017.

Antoine's films are informed by an interest in the relationship between individuals and systems such as healthcare, social, or legal institutions. His films have led him to direct actors of varying levels of experience – from professionals to non-actors – and to continually adapt his approaches to create authentic performances.
