Joan Elizabeth Scheckel
SPAA/AWG Conference 2000.
Master Classes 2000, 2002.

Actor, Director, Writer, Film Coach Joan Scheckel, America's revolutionary writing, directing, and acting instructor, is acclaimed throughout the independent filmmaking community as a visionary master of film craft. Her edgy, groundbreaking work has gained such international respect as to earn her a place alongside the great dramatic teachers.

In the past 7 years alone, Joan has intensively coached the development of over 150 features and shorts. The labs explore every aspect of film craft from visual style to performance and are open to directors, writers, actors, producers, editors, and cinematographers.

The labs include exercises, acting craft and hands on scene work with actors. They provide a forum to develop practical tools and deepen creative investigation. Joan doesn't teach a formula, rather she works with an artist to think more daringly, more creatively about what it is they do to release their individual voice and style.
