DnA is a diverse group of directors working in film, television and theater who meet weekly to explore the craft of directing actors.
The main goal of DnA's members is to sharpen our directing skills. We focus on expanding our ability to listen and to communicate effectively with actors.
We examine different approaches to our craft through workshops with prominent acting and directing professionals and instructors. We inspire and learn from each other’s work through feedback and critique in an environment that supports exploration, creativity and risk taking for both directors and actors.
"I've been functioning as one of DnA's facilitators once or twice a year... It's always a fulfilling experience, artistically and personally. The directors and actors are always prepared and talented, full of energy, warmth, ideas and dedication."
—Judith Weston, author of Directing Actors and The Film

"I was an active member of DnA in the months leading up to my first film and my experience in the group allowed me to cast, rehearse and direct with confidence. DnA is a HUGE force for good and a must for all serious directors!"
—Dylan Kidd, director/writer P.S. and Roger Dodger
