Storytelling is storytelling. You still play by the same narrative rules. The technology is completely different. I don't use one piece of technology that I used when I started directing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always want to be telling stories in whatever fashion I can, and directing is really just understanding and learning a different element of that storytelling process.
Theater and film are essentially the same - just different kinds of storytelling.
Storytelling is storytelling. Good stories need compelling characters and interesting conflicts. That's the bottom line no matter what medium you're writing for.
Movie-making is telling a story with the best technology at your disposal.
A story is a story is a story. The only difference is in the techniques you bring to bear. There are always limitations on what you can and can't do. But I enjoy that. Just like when you write a sonnet or haiku, there are rules you have to abide by. And to me, playing within the rules is the fun part. It keeps the brain fresh.
Storytelling is fine as long as you can encourage people to act on the stories.
I see film as a real opportunity to examine the human condition. No matter where the technology goes in the future, the basics don't change. Storytelling is a primitive tribal function. The elders sat around the fires and told these stories as a way to pass on the 'dos' and the 'don'ts.' That will never change.
Storytelling is about listening in any media.
When you're an actress, you are a part of the storytelling process. You have to do the same thing when you direct.
Role-playing isn't storytelling. If the dungeon master is directing it, it's not a game.
