Jodie Foster Teaches Filmmaking | Official Trailer | MasterClass

In her first-ever online class, Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster uses her decades of experience on both sides of the camera to provide a unique and personal approach to filmmaking.

From storyboarding and casting to collaborating with writers and inspiring memorable performances, Jodie teaches students how to bring their stories from the page to the screen.

Over her 52-year career, Foster has appeared in over 40 major films, directed four feature-length movies, and won nearly 60 awards—among them, two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, four Juniper Awards, and three Golden Globes, including the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement. Foster started her career at the tender age of three and ascended to superstardom with striking performances in Taxi Driver, The Silence of the Lambs, The Accused, and Nell, portraying complex characters alongside acting heavyweights Robert De Niro, Anthony Hopkins, and Liam Neeson. Foster made her directorial debut in 1991 with Little Man Tate, following up with Home for the Holidays in 1995 and The Beaver in 2011. Her most recent feature film, Money Monster (2016), stars George Clooney and Julia Roberts. Since then, Foster has ventured into television, directing episodes of Netflix original series House of Cards, Black Mirror, and Orange Is the New Black, which earned her an Emmy nomination.

Two cents, my widows mite. Jodie Foster is an underscore feeling if you listen. I have been taken by her, she explores for her sake of the world, and I have listened to the complaints and the most obscure agendas. She presses on regardless...with or without the superficial defense. She see that humanity and one person take. We know she could "afford more" inhumanely. She knows she is no "god", no worship, but she explores who she is. To represent, she carefully curates with purpose. Jodie, if I may call you without permission, a real star. I have no clue how, we that see, will personify. We seek to touch the untouchable. We seek to smell the scenes that are unobtainable. Our senses seek to reach beyond us. I digress, I am a popper.
