I’m Mark Freiburger, a Director with 20+ years of experience behind the camera. From helming feature films with nationwide theatrical distribution to directing “The Greatest Super Bowl Ad of All Time” as named by CBS, I’ve navigated many corners of the industry.

As a working Director - and former apprentice who spent a year shadowing Michael Bay on TRANSFORMERS 4 - I’m pulling back the curtain on the world of visual storytelling. What you’ll SOON find here:

• Scene Breakdowns: Shot-by-shot analysis of my feature work, showing how to get big-budget looks on an indie budget.

• Film Financing: Practical strategies for raising money for your movie.

• Filmmaker Sessions: Behind-the-scenes conversations with filmmakers in their studios, offices, and on-set, exploring how they approach the art and craft of filmmaking.

In this video, we go inside the studio of Terrence Malick's composer, Hanan Townshend, for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look — talking through what it takes to score a Malick film, how he approaches the blank-page terror of writing music for picture, and the process behind building a score from scratch.

Then we bring it home: we break down a real cue he wrote for my film BETWEEN BORDERS — start to finish, choices and all.

Full video drops soon.

Hey guys, you spoke and I listened. My next long-form video called "How to Raise Money for your Movie" is coming up soon. I've shot the video and am currently editing it. Its a long video with a ton of (hopefully) useful information, so get a transcribing app ready to take notes when the video drops.

I will continue to make more scene breakdown videos as well. Your response to my first Spielberg video has been overwhelming. I never imagined it would take off like it did, so thank you all for watching and engaging. It has been fun to meet, talk, and share ideas with so many film lovers in the comments. Appreciate you all.

I am working full time right now and juggling heavy personal responsibilities, but I am committed to making more videos for you guys!
