Here’s what people are saying about Deconstructing Directing!

  • "I find the breadth of what Andrew covers, as well as the step-by-step detail of their explanations, examples and advice truly formidable. It’s a pleasure to read and support the refinement of their work, and to engage in meaningful discussion on these topics together. Writing these scenes takes a huge amount of dedication and passion. In every scene Andrew is pouring out the hard-won lessons they’ve learned. It is a testament to their maturity and generosity that they can transmute the difficult and painful experiences they’ve encountered into such actionable wisdom."

    —Nana Dakin, President of the Thai Theatre Foundation & Director

  • "Hello, I just wanted to say thank you so much for creating Deconstructing Directing. I burned through all your videos today and was blown away by how much thought and care you put into them. I am so glad that I stumbled across this site via a Facebook post. As someone on a very limited income who lives in a small city and cannot access any in person workshops/classes on directing, this site was truly a godsend. Thank you for your willingness to provide such top notch content for free. I am super excited about what I have already seen and am looking forward to the rest."

    — Steph Frelone

  • "I found this quite helpful in that it forced me to think about my leadership style and process as a director. I was able to identify more readily my strengths, or glows, in this area as well as my weaknesses, or grows, and what I need to do to improve my processes, particularly in the area of facilitation/translation! Thank you for being obedient to the Spirit in creating such a valuable tool for the professional development of directors!!!!!!"
