Glasgow Short Film Festival Duane Hopkins in Conversation: Directing Actors

Having developed a distinctive voice in two multi-award winning shorts, Field (2001) and Love Me or Leave Me Alone (2003), Duane Hopkins went on to make two equally uncompromising and acclaimed features Better Things (2008) and Bypass (2014). He has coaxed extraordinarily honest performances out of first time or untrained actors. Don’t miss this in depth conversation in which Duane will discuss every aspect of directing actors and non-actors, from casting and rehearsing to shooting and editing performance.
