Michael Schultz: Directing for Television

Virtual

A collage of images from Michael Schultz television works

Join noted director Michael Schultz for this free masterclass presented as part of his October retrospective at the Wex.

Best known for such films as Cooley High (1975), Car Wash (1976), and Krush Groove (1985), as well as numerous features starring Richard Pryor, Schultz is also a prolific director for television. His career spans such 1970s hit series as The Rockford Files, Starsky & Hutch, and Baretta all the way to contemporary shows Black-ish, New Girl, Arrow, Black Lightning, and the hit Netflix series All American, among many others.

In this class, Schultz discusses this remarkable run, sharing stories from his diverse body of work and providing a behind-the-scenes look at the differences between working in film and episodic TV. (program approx. 60 mins.)

Schultz had hoped to lead this class in person but due to unforeseen circumstances we’re presenting it online. Please RSVP to attend this Zoom workshop.
