film reframed.

Learn cinematic composition & framing online to develop your director’s voice.

“I've been in film school for 6 years (3 in undergrad and 3 in an MFA Directing program) and I have honestly learned more about making a project cinematic and evocative with Film Reframed in the last month than I have in all my years at film school. Roman is an excellent teacher, and I love all of the materials and examples that come with each course.”

Desmond Jackson, Academy Gold Affinity Leader
Director, Los Angeles

“These classes have given me the confidence to explore and translate my ideas. They turn theory into visual, practical resources, and Roman’s enthusiasm and thoughtful guidance ensures I always come away from class with a renewed love for my craft.”

Lauren Midwinter, BAFTA Crew 2021
Director, London

“It wasn’t until taking these courses that I realized just how much I missed out on in my arts education and on-set learning. Film Reframed is teaching topics that I feel like I should have already known, but didn't, and imparting that information in incredibly dynamic and easily understandable ways.”

Lex Voight, Director of Photography
Los Angeles

“We are so happy we got to partner with Film Reframed for our YCP Live Industry Series. Roman breaks everything down step by step and is everything you want in a good teacher. Our workshop was fun, informative and everyone from our 4th graders to our filmmaking mentors got to learn something new!”

Erika Flores, Youth Cinema Project
Los Angeles

“We really, really enjoyed the workshop yesterday and learned so much from it. It’s everything we wish we’d be learning at film school! I feel your class was on a whole 'nother level. Like a completely different world. It was easily understandable and at the same time detailed and in-depth, taking on the nitty-gritty of filmmaking. We loved your combination of abstract theory and then the hands-on interactive part.”

“I always come out of these workshops with a fresh lens. They sharpen my focus, not only on what I want each of my own images to look like, but more importantly - what I want them to say.”
