About

Tim Fywell is one of the most experienced directors working in TV drama, in the UK and internationally. Working across TV drama and feature films, he has worked with a host of accomplished actors. The London Film School offers the The Director and Actor Collaboration - Essential Techniques For Directors programme.

Overview

Careers

In 1994, Tim directed To Be A Somebody, the defining series of Jimmy McGovern’s CRACKER. It memorably portrayed the murder of DC Bilborough (Christopher Ecclestone) by Albie Kinsella (Robert Carlyle).  All Tim’s films feature atmospheric and economical storytelling; and their dramatic force comes from the quality and consistency of his actors’ performances.

The aim is for a group of ten directors to experience Tim’s approaches to acting and directing first hand, through a series of practical script-based exercises.

The London Film School's The Director and Actor Collaboration - Essential Techniques For Directors participants will alternately give and take direction; first working with each other, then with professional actors, who will join the group on day two.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

  • The actor's practical vocabulary: Goals, Aims, States of Mind, Realisations.
  • Different kinds of acting methods and styles: How to recognise them, and how best to accommodate them.
  • Getting an actor on board: The process, from the moment you meet (at a casting session; backstage at a theatre), to communicating the relationship you want.
  • The protocols of rehearsal: Both 1-to-1 and with a group. What can be achieved in rehearsal, and what should wait until the shoot.
