Read MoreIt's difficult to find resources specifically for commercial directing, and Jordan has, time and time again, proven himself to be one of the best sources of education in the industry. His Masterclass is certainly no exception. It’s filled with knowledge that is easily applicable to various levels of directing, and that can help set you on the path towards mastery. Best of all, it’s topped off with Jordan’s signature witty flourish. Thanks Jordan!

Read MoreAs far as masterclasses go, this is about as niched down as I've seen. And that's an incredible thing because as much as I love some 'other' masterclasses from non-commercial directors, they're mainly high-level conceptual speak with little to no actionable insights. In this course Jordan brings the goods, the magic, dare I say, the voodoo.

Read MoreThis course is solid gold. Jordan tells you exactly how he does it. He simply and practically takes you through his craft. (Which is really what aspiring Directors need to know, whether they know it or not.) And he doesn't shy away from exploring the more elusive aspect of Directing, taste. Then he tells you how to get work, how to make yourself marketable, and how those things add up to building a career. What you get here is THE practical program for how to approach and execute your material, lead, work with people, solve problems, tell a story, and more... and HOW Jordan has applied it 1,200 times, and counting. If you want those kinds of numbers one day, then listen to what Jordan has to say. Watch this course. Get his book. Go to Commercial Directing Bootcamp. Say thank you, because he sure didn't get what he's giving here in such a distilled form, and then get out there and do likewise.

Read MoreJordan's ability to be concise yet connect all the dots in theses videos of the commercial directing process I really believe is invaluable. It's one thing to explain one or two jobs, but this course really dives into the norms and some of the curve balls you might get thrown throughout. It's clear that Jordan has been doing this for a long time, is thoughtful about how he does it, and It's all the stuff you wished a seasoned professional could tell you if you had a chance to hang out with them.

Read MoreThis masterclass was fantastic. I have 10 years of directing experience, but am newer to the world of commercial directing. This masterclass (and most of Jordan's work) gives me priceless insight into the process of the advertising world so that I can, in fact, respect that process. If you're familiar with Jordan's podcast and book, you get an even deeper dive into some of his best practices and experiences. His BTS footage and case study is worth the price alone.

Read MoreJordan Brady's Directing Master Class is the best online course for the filmmaking business by far.

Read MoreAs a former ad agency copywriter, I'm familiar with the process of fretting that the production team is bringing your precious script to life the way you envisioned it as you munch snacks in video village. Now that I'm in the director's chair, I know how to honor the vision, work with the crew, and finesse the talent in order to produce a reel-worthy spot. Jordan's wisdom has shown me the full side of directing commercials and given me tools to up my game. This Masterclass will do the same for any filmmaker, no matter if they have worked in the advertising/client world. The director's treatments and storyboards included are pure gold, showing you ways in which to pitch your vision. Thank you, Jordan, for this insanely valuable course. And on behalf of all copywriters, I do apologize for asking a set dresser to move a prop. Which I have done. Many times.
