Directors need support too.

Everyone leans on the director, but too often, the director has no one to lean on. In upstream (community and educational) spaces, that gap is even wider: we’re expected to manage people, art, and logistics without mentorship, training, or a sounding board.

Director’s Line is going to close that gap.

It’s a practical, judgment-free support system designed for the 30,000+ upstream directors who are too often left on their own. Whether you want a structured way to work through the Library, quick feedback during a busy season, or full-cycle production backup, Director’s Line meets you where you are so you can lead with more specificity, confidence, and kindness.

This is your self-guided accountability system for moving through a single Act of Deconstructing Directing. Get structured reminders, progress tracking, and prompts to keep you moving, without needing live coaching or feedback. A low-cost way to stay committed to your craft, one task at a time.

Ideal for:

Directors who want structure but don’t need hands-on support

Educators or students integrating the material into a curriculum

Self-motivated learners working at their own pace

Here when you need it.

All the structure of The Track, plus asynchronous messaging and personalized feedback. Get your questions answered, worksheets reviewed, and insight from a professional director within 48 hours.
