A new masterclass by Daniela Saioni (Suits, Vladimir, People of Earth, Covert Affairs, Soul Food: The Series) designed for script supervisors making the transition from indie filmmaking to TV Series.
Please note: This class will NOT cover live-to-tape (aka "gallery") shooting in front of a live studio audience.
For this class, you should already have an understanding about how to execute the script notes package and do coverage support for directors - this class will not be covering those basics, just how our work is different in television.
For comprehensive training in all aspects of script supervision, please check out my Director Whisperer Training Program at bit.ly/scriptsupervisor

[on AM I COVERED?] This is my third time taking a workshop with Daniela, which I have greatly enjoyed. I find her workshops are well researched, informative and inspirational. I always come away from them with more insight both into the creative process of filmmaking, as well as into myself.

[on Am I Covered?] I must say that this is the most comprehensive and - excuse my language - most no-bullsh*t film-related course I have ever seen. It was pure enjoyment to follow your lessons.
