Becoming a director is not just about making a film, web series, commercial, or music video. The opportunity to direct for television is not a given because you've successfully completed a project in another medium.

Turning your passion into your profession requires the ability to make transitions at the exact moment a pivot is needed, with creativity and confidence. Transitions by Pete Chatmon helps directors across all mediums shape their career with targeted anecdotes, worksheets, and other resources.

These resources fall into three designated categories: How-To, Self-Help, and Inspiration.
