Director’s Cut Academy was founded by acclaimed director, Evelyn Reed, who wanted to create a different kind of film school. She envisioned a place where students could learn from working professionals in a practical, hands-on environment. Frustrated by the often-theoretical and outdated curriculum of traditional film schools, Evelyn set out to create an academy that was both rigorous and relevant, focused on preparing students for the real-world challenges of the film industry.

Today, Director’s Cut Academy continues to uphold Evelyn’s vision, providing students with access to state-of-the-art equipment, cutting-edge software, and a faculty of experienced filmmakers who are passionate about sharing their knowledge. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive learning environment where students from all backgrounds can thrive.
