Are you interested in finding opportunities that utilise your transferable skills? Curious about being connected to those who are looking for your storytelling skills?
Directing Outside The Box (DOTB) looks to inspire screen directors and is designed to stretch beyond the familiar edges of film and television. DOTB invites you into the fast-shifting worlds where storytelling meets games, brand marketing, AI, VR, and emerging technology.
Across a curated series of online and in-person sessions, you can connect with commissioners, creatives, and innovators who are actively seeking directing talent and fresh narrative thinking. Just as importantly, you will join a community of fellow directors exploring similar questions.
DOTB is not about leaving film and TV behind. It is about expanding your creative toolkit, discovering new applications for your directing skills, and opening doors to unexpected collaborations. If curiosity drives your practice and evolution excites you, DOTB is your invitation to step confidently into what comes next.
