In an increasingly data-driven production landscape, understanding the role of the DIT is essential. This masterclass pulls back the curtain on what really happens behind the monitor, offering a clear and practical breakdown of how DIT services support and elevate your shoot — from set to post.

Led by experienced DIT specialists, the session will explore:

The different services that fall under the DIT umbrella:

What a trusted DIT relationship looks like — covering workflow, communication, and collaboration across departments

Whether you're a producer, production manager, or post supervisor, you'll leave with a sharper understanding of how to get the most from your DIT team — and why it matters more than ever.
