Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to purchase any software to take this class?

No! This is a course on how to do the job and do it well, not a course on software. While many of my students eventually make a choice to go with one of the major software options on the market, I will give you different workflow options ranging from fully manual to fully digital in this program. I actually recommend that for at least the first six months of your career you work fully manually, so that you will learn how to do the job and will not get flustered on the job should you go digital and weather or other issues disrupt your digital workflow. All the forms and templates I provide are created on a $10 shareware program called OpenOffice to allow for the maximum affordability.

To participate in the class itself, you will need to have an internet connection and upload the free Zoom software. To participate in bonus weekly live FAQ and our private Facebook group, you will need a free Facebook account.

It's such a complex job, can you really train me in 50 Hours?

Yes! Because I have been training script supervisors for 25 years and seen them thrive on set, I can tell you with full confidence that I will not only fully train you in eight classes, but will save you years of trial and error and make you a valued member of the director's team with my specific Director Whisperer mindset approach.

I'm a Director (or Producer or DP or PM or AD). Is there any benefit to me doing the full program?

Filmmakers of all stripes have taken this program over the years and thanked me for it. Having an intimate understanding of the Script Supervisor's role has helped them make better use of the Script Supervisors they work with or hire. Many producers have noted how they got huge insights into production by seeing it through the eyes of a seasoned Script Supervisor. However, if you ONLY wish to take the coverage class, the cost for that is $297 US (plus applicable taxes for Canadian residents) and the link to register for that can be found here:

Does the Certificate of Completion really mean anything to anyone?

Many training programs offer Certificates of Completion, including mine. I can't speak for every union local universally valuing everyone's certifications, but I can proudly boast that I have numerous alumni on the rosters of every Canadian union local, and many in the US and beyond. If you are unsure who to train with, always take a moment to research the credentials of your instructors on IMDB, as anyone judging the value of your training will certainly take into account who you have trained with. Are they a respected veteran of the profession? Are they still actively working and up-to-date with what is happening on set? That's a big yes to both for me.

I still have more questions. Where can I contact you?
