Stunt coordinating is a good training ground for directing because you have exposure to all the departments in film.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a lot of directing within the stunt coordinator's job.
Directing is a lot of fun, but you have to be on your toes every minute. If you zone out for even a second, you'll miss something and things will get screwed up. And here's a little secret that I'm going to let out of the bag: That is not the case with acting.
With directing, you always have three or four things constantly on the go. It's a tough industry and a tough time, particularly if you're doing things a little outside the box or independent features.
I acted for so many years and sat on a million sets and worked with a million different directors so that is to me some of the best training you can get.
I'd like to have a go at directing.
I love acting and will take all the time to continue to act. But sometimes I'd like to try my hand at directing.
Directing is very close to choreography; you deal with space, time, emotions, lighting, making beautiful images.
Directing is definitely something that is in my life for keeps, and the more I do it, the more I realize how much I want to learn and how much I have to give. And it kind of bolsters my acting - it enhances it in a really wonderful way that I wasn't expecting.
Directing movies is the best job there is, that's all. I can hardly say a word after that. It's just a great job.
Directing is not a job. It's more like a career. Which is great!
