A lot of really good directors have a killer in them, as if they'd do anything to get that image. But that comes with the terrain and I don't mind it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are so many elements that make a good film. You need a great director who's driving it.
When the director has a vision for a piece that I've never heard before, and they can back that up with visuals, and they talk a good game, I get really interested in the world that they're trying to create.
I believe that the director is really the soul. It is a collaborative effort, but the director is the one who needs to have that vision. It could be a great script, but it starts from there. You need to have good material, at least, but if you don't have someone with vision, it's just words.
I love those films where I feel the director's confidence - where he doesn't need to overdo it with the shots and the cuts.
I watched a couple of really bad directors work, and I saw how they completely botched it up and missed the visual opportunities of the scene when we had put things in front of them as opportunities. Set pieces, props and so on.
All the directors that I've had the opportunity to work with are fantastic.
No director wants to be directed, but no good director... would shy away from the good ideas of others.
I've been lucky enough to work with some great directors, and I don't want to throw that away by doing one big horrible big budget film.
I'm not one of these directors, so far, that wants to have a whole separate director's cut of these things. So far they've turned out to be kind of the length that they wanted to be.
I admire directors so much, I find them incredible: they manage such a huge number of people of different characters, think of the money involved.
