I think some people have a vague idea, but the general public has no clue what the actual behind-the-scenes of filmmaking is and what this profession is.

Filmmaking is a real craft.
Someone who directs a film, they have to see the overall picture, and they have to get the best performances out of the actors.
Filmmaking is a very complex form - ya know, acting, lighting, screenwriting, storytelling, music, editing - all these things have to come together.
To me the recognition of the audience is part of the filmmaking process. When you make a movie, it's for them.
The filmmaking process is a very personal one to me, I mean it really is a personal kind of communication. It's not as though its a study of fear or any of that stuff.
A film is a director's vision... there is, however, much input an actor or actress can have.
I found filmmaking to be a very practical art form. It's about figuring out how to create within the very practical limitations/constraints of time, money, and large groups of collaborators.
What is filmmaking but groping in the dark?
You know, the great thing about acting or, indeed, filmmaking in general, is that we're all given a reason to do research. You kind of have to, really, if you want to know what you're doing, but it opens up this whole new understanding.
A big part of filmmaking is gathering a group of people you can work with.
