From my experience as an actor, choreographer, action director, and producer, I understand the elements and the dynamics of being a film maker.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I learn a lot as a director from acting in other people's films and just in general.
As a filmmaker, the only way that I understand how to make a film is holistically.
I view filmmaking as a director's medium.
I suppose I like to think of myself as a film-maker.
As a director, I've been able to combine with what I've learned as an actor and as a producer: it melds quite nicely into what I feel like I should have been doing all along.
Ultimately, I am very filmmaker oriented, as a producer.
On a very small scale, I kind of understand why the directors that I work with do certain things. I don't consider myself an incredible director. I'm not ready to do movies by any means. But, I feel like I can be a better actress now that I've been on the other side and kind of understand the process and more of the technical aspects of it.
Making films has never just been a job to me; it is my life. I have some interests outside of acting - I sing and I've written books, for instance - but acting is what keeps me going: it's what I do; it gives life purpose.
Making movies is my profession. I like doing it a lot.
Whether it's acting, directing or writing, I want to be involved in the film industry for the rest of my life.
