Filmmaking (direction & storytelling) – NL/ EN – from idea to editing
From 77.46 $ /h
I teach filmmaking classes with a focus on directing and storytelling for film, TV, and video. In these classes, I guide you through the entire process: from idea and concept to filming and editing your project. We go through every step.
We work with topics such as story structure, script development, scene analysis, and directing actors. You will learn how to convey emotion, tension, and meaning through directorial choices and storytelling.
In addition, I help you with the practical development of your project: how to turn an idea into a plan, how a shooting day works, and how to bring your footage together into a cohesive whole during editing. The entire production.
The lessons are tailored to your level and interests, so that you can work on your own project or skills step by step.
Thanks to my background as a film director, you gain insight into both the creative process and the realities of a film set.
The lessons are personal and practical, and suitable for both children and adults.
The lessons can be given in Dutch or English.

About Me
My name is Shaniqua Paesch and I am a graduate film director and actor from the Netherlands. I completed a four-year film program at HKU (University of the Arts Utrecht), where I specialized in directing and screenwriting.
In addition, I am active as an actor myself. I have taken acting lessons and workshops (including on-camera acting and audition techniques) and have acted in short films and commercials. As a result, I know from personal experience what is expected of you in front of the camera and during auditions.
What makes my lessons unique is that I work from both the actor's and the director's perspective. I help you not only with acting, but also with how you come across on camera and how a set works.
I enjoy working with both children and adults and find it important that everyone feels at ease during the lesson. My lessons are personal, practical, and focused on development within film, TV, and commercials.

I teach film acting classes with a focus on acting for film, TV, and commercials. In these classes, you will learn how to act naturally and believably in front of the camera, with attention to subtlety, timing, and awareness of framing and shots.
We work with text and scenes, with an emphasis on script interpretation, emotional build-up, and developing authentic acting for various formats. You will learn how to adapt your acting to commercials (clear and direct) and to film and series (layered and subtle).
The lessons are tailored to your playing level, so that you can develop at your own pace and work specifically on your strengths and areas for improvement.
Thanks to my experience as both an actor and a director, you will gain insight not only into acting but also into how a set works. I will guide you through the practical side of the field, such as auditions, self-tapes, collaborating with the director and camera, and what is expected of you on a shooting day.
The lessons are personal and aimed at developing self-confidence and camera acting skills. Suitable for both children and adults.
The lessons can be given in Dutch or English.
