Script Supervision in commercials is a niche position.

Our job differs significantly from longform, it comes with practices that are unique to commercials. How well we navigate the political environment and interact with the players will determine our success and respect.

....................................................................................

I've been working in commercials for

three decades

and it took me a long time to understand the inner workings of this industry. I'll provide you with shortcuts to help you arrive on set equipped to recognize what's happening around you and how to make informed decisions in the moment.

Because with a job like this,

diplomacy comes first.

....................................................................................

Let's find out what this course

and my three decades of experience

will teach you:

ABOUT ME

Your Image

As an international Script Supervisor, I've worked on feature films, TV movies, mini-series, episodic television, and commercials. I've been employed in India, Europe, Asia, North Africa, and Canada, where I currently live.

I've had the perfect vantage point to learn all aspects of filmmaking which has led me to do my own projects.

..................................................................................

I directed, shot, and edited two documentaries while living in Thailand. Both films featured Lady Lea Laarakker, her art, and her silk weaving project in Ban Ren Khai.

..................................................................................

From my desk at The United Nations, I wrote an outline for a documentary series for the International Labour Organization (ILO) titled Women Homeworkers of SE Asia.

..................................................................................

I co-directed OMFYP

(Old Movies For Young People)

a YouTube series created by acclaimed playwright Brad Fraser.

..................................................................................

I’ve worked alongside some of the best commercial directors in the world, such as Jason Van Bruggen, Tim Godsall, Nicolai Fugslig, Jeff Low, Oliver Gondry, Andreas Nilsson, Eric Lynne, Dante Ariola, Grady Hall, David Shane, Casey Storm, Benjamin Weinstein, Mike Maguire, Vadim Perlman, Ric Cantor, Mark Zibert, and Luis Gerard.

..................................................................................

For the past fourteen years, I've worked exclusively in commercials. It's been challenging and fun.

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

I couldn’t be happier that I came across this course from Selene. I came into this year with aspirations of transitioning from being solely a long form Script Supervisor to one who could also work in the commercial industry. After Selene’s course I feel as confident as I ever have that I can make this a reality."Selene's course is thorough, highly detailed, and yet taught with the ease of personality needed on set in the vital role of Script Supervisor.

- Killian O’Regan-Artaud - Script Supervisor

"I highly recommend studying "Commercial Script Supervising" from Selene, who is one of the greatest and has put together such an in-depth course, I wish I could've known about before I started on commercials. I love how thorough the lectures are and describe everything we are encountering on set, to the detail. Selene also uses multiple commercials as references to her teachings, which I've found very useful and inspirational. Her material is at times complex but she provides more explanation when in need. Thank you Selene for such a fun course and your passion, that makes us fall in love with the commercial world even more!"

- Eszter Zakarias - Script Supervisor

So not only will you be taught all the elements that set commercial work apart from longform and prepares you for the job, but you will also see in Selene an example of what it takes to succeed in commercials. Just follow Selene's example in every way!

AND...the course is fun! I imagine this is because she's had so much fun doing the job. It makes you excited to get out there and try it!"

- Kim Huffman - Actor, Teacher, Script Supervisor

"As someone with no experience in the advertising world, Selene's course gave me great insight into not only the script supervisor role and what is expected, but also a good overview of the industry itself and its nuances.
It's great to learn from her many years of experience because she has been there, done that, and lived to tell the tale and teach the next generation.
I highly recommend this course as it will prepare you for script supervising commercials so you can show up prepared and ready for what lays ahead."

- Jacquelyn Nutell -Entrepreneur, Script Supervisor

When instructing her students on how to be a Script Supervisor in commercials, Selene demonstrates passion, solid knowledge, kindness and empathy towards her students, resulting in class after class of incomparable Script Supervisors entering the industry.

- Kassandra Cardinale - Script Supervisor

Thank you so much for a WONDERFUL course. It was informative and illuminating. I've learned not only about the nuts and bolts of commercials, but also the uniqueness of the work environment and how to navigate it successfully (with practice, of course!). I'm so excited -- it really does look like fun!

-Victoria Buchy – Script Supervisor

I really appreciate the oodles of knowledge and experience you shared with us. Truly invaluable. I’ve only done three commercials and that was almost ten years ago, so I look forward to being able to put it all into practice. Thank you.

-Barbara Abelar - Script Supervisor
