We empower
1st time Film Directors
With guidance and confidence
to show up on set like a BOSS,
ready to direct their best work.
WHICH DIRECTOR ARE YOU?
BEFORE YOU STEP ON SET, KNOW YOUR STYLE!
DO YOU RECOGNIZE YOURSELF IN ONE OF THESE THREE TYPES?
The Not Ready Director
aka The Underprepared Visionary
You’ve got passion—but not enough prep. You assumed you’d have time to figure things out in pre-production, but now your department heads and DP are asking questions you don’t have answers to. Lighting setups? Color palettes? Wardrobe direction? You’re still working on your shot list. If you’re scrambling to keep up with production meetings, this is your sign to take control and get ahead.
The Timid Director
aka The Quiet Creative
You’ve got the story, but lack the confidence to lead. You find yourself second-guessing your choices on set, intimidated by seasoned crew or vocal actors. You hesitate when it’s time to speak up, and it’s costing you time, clarity, and respect. If you’re tired of shrinking back from the director’s chair, it’s time to step forward with vision and presence.
The Burnt Out Director
aka The Overworked Perfectionist
You’ve planned every frame—but now your set is behind schedule, your crew is drained, and you’re losing the joy that brought you here. You’re juggling too many setups, doing too much alone, and snapping at actors out of frustration. If you’re always going into overtime and forgetting to breathe, it’s time to reset your rhythm and direct with a calm, creative flow.

Frequently Asked Questions
MEET YOUR COACH
SATOMI M. MARTIN
I already know how to direct, why DBC?
In Director's Bootcamp, we don't show you "how to" direct, rather we give you the tools & confidence you'll need BEFORE directing so that you can clearly articulate your vision to your cast & crew.
We also coach those who struggle with doubt & disbelief, so that they are motivated into creating again.
How do I know if this will work for me?
Of course, you may be nervous when it comes to investing in yourself, but let fear PUSH you, not stop you.
What if I can't commit right now?
No problem, come back when you're ready, HOWEVER, our program is designed for the busy woman.
Check out our self-pace journey, which allows you to participate at your own pace from the comforts of your home.
