Complete your full Certification Training as a Script Supervisor

in 2 weeks LIVE in Toronto

If you have been eyeing my Script Supervisor training program for years but feel you learn better in person, I am bringing back the kind of live training I built my teaching reputation on from 1995 to 2020, before my Director Whisperer Training Program went fully online.

At least once a year, I'll be scheduling a two-week intensive version of the program live, and this fall, based on a collective vote, it's happening in TORONTO, CANADA

Get the same proven training (with a little addition we can really only do in a live setting) and make memories with me and your peers while getting fully certified in a short time.

This program was designed for Script Supervisors in the first decade of their career, and for decades I have been able to train people who have never gone to film school or set foot on a film set to be ready to start working by the time they complete the training.

Because I also focus on higher-level concepts far beyond the basics (directing, career strategy, prep management, advanced on-set workflow, negotiation and more), even senior-level Script Supervisors have told me how my program has impacted their career.

SPACES LIMITED TO 40

This is an incredibly rare opportunity to get intensive, world-class training for a Department Head role in film from an industry veteran who is still active in her own career and has a 30-year track record of teaching. I have worked on major motion pictures and TV series in 10 countries and have working alumni in 36 countries.

But most important of all is the track record of my alumni and the respect my program carries from international producers in the know.

I AM SO IN!!

"What if I ALSO want access to the online program, or I have already purchased it?"

If you are registered in the live and decide now or at any point in the future that you would like to join my online program to get lifetime access to the material, plus bonuses and all future upgrades, plus our weekly live Q&A zooms as you grow in your career, you can upgrade for a one-time fee of $500 US.

The reverse applies to the students and alumni in my online program: contact me to register for a live intensive for $500 US.

I chose an ideal time to be in Toronto: right after TIFF is over and before it starts snowing, so you can enjoy the city. We'll start a Facebook group for this event so you can share information about affordable accommodation and maybe also share spaces with some of your classmates.

Our venue is right on the subway line, a short streetcar or Uber ride north of The Beach (one of Toronto's most wonderful neighbourhoods) or less than 30 minutes from downtown.

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 that work best for them, I will give you different workflow options and templates 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 don't lock yourself into one software system, so that you will learn how to do the job confidently and try out different systems. I need to offer a digital solution that is fully accessible to students internationally on a price level. All the forms and templates I provide are created on a $10 shareware program called OpenOffice to allow for the maximum flexibility and affordability. And they are the same forms I use on the 9-figure blockbusters I work on.

It's such a complex job, can you really train me in 60 Hours?

Yes! Because I have been training script supervisors for 30 years and seen them thrive on set, I can tell you with full confidence that I will not only train you well, 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 methodology..

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. A few aspiring producers have noted how they got huge insights into production by seeing it through the eyes of a seasoned Script Supervisor.

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 assessing the value of your training will certainly take into account who you have trained with.

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

Please feel free to email me at mondocinema@gmail.com

Is there tax applicable on top of the course fee?

Because this course is taking place live in Ontario, I am legally required to charge 13% HST, but I have included the amount in the course fee and will include the HST portion of the fee on your invoice for tax purposes.
