DirectorSIM
Call the shots. Lead the show.
DirectorSIM places students in the director's chair — the leadership role responsible for the creative vision and real-time decision-making that drives every live broadcast. Students learn to call camera shots, coordinate with crew members, manage show flow, and make the split-second decisions that separate a good broadcast from a great one.

Students with foundational production knowledge who are ready to develop leadership, communication, and creative decision-making skills.
Key Features
- Call shots and direct camera operators in real time
- Show flow management including segment timing and transitions

Why It Matters
