Description
Welcome to The Directors’ Take, a podcast where we explore how you go from directing something with your mates, to being one of the most senior decision-makers on a film set.
Hosted by Writer/Directors and rising stars Oz Arshad and Marcus Anthony Thomas, The Directors’ Take Podcast will arm you with all of the knowledge you need to be a success in the Film & TV industry.
Whether it’s the two of them talking through their own filmmaking journeys and experiences or conducting deep-dives on Directing craft with industry guests, they will offer you a look behind-the-curtain and demystify what it takes to Direct Film & TV at the highest level.
For Directors... The pathway doesn’t exist, so we are going to do our best to help bridge the gap.
