“I used this class to venture into material in a play that I was nervous about doing. What I really value about Bob is that I’ve seen him work with a number of very diverse directors who come from totally different backgrounds. But Bob understands the fundamental skeleton of directing that every director, no matter what kind of work they’re doing, requires.”

“What makes Robert Bailey’s Directors Workshop so special is the safe, creatively charged space he creates for directors to experiment and grow.
With his deep background in acting, Robert has a rare ability to guide directors in how to truly speak to actors—using their language to get to the heart of a performance. He casts each scene with care, so you’re working with actors who fit your material, which makes the process feel real and collaborative.
I brought in scenes from my feature film The Haunting of Hollywood to explore and deepen some key emotional moments, and it was incredibly valuable. Robert breaks things down beat by beat and walks alongside you as you uncover the scene. It’s a rare opportunity to take creative risks and sharpen your instincts—without the pressure of being on set.”
— Lilia Doytchinova, writer/director of The Haunting of Hollywood (now streaming), winner of two Best Thriller awards and Best Director; USC School of Cinematic Arts alumna
