As a director, you never get to watch other directors work, and you also don't get to collaborate with other directors that much.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you work with a great director, you realise you are far from being a director.
One of the challenges of being a director is often you don't get to work with your peers. You know, writers can write together, and as a director you get to work with so many wonderful actors and writers and designers. But it's pretty rare that you get a chance to partner in that way with another director.
There are times when you work with directors on set, and things are a bit rudderless, and those can be good directors.
You can't always expect to work with a director who guarantees success.
When you work with directors who really love actors, who love their contribution, it feels amazing. But sometimes when you work with directors, you feel like you're in the way.
I don't go to a lot of other directors' sets; directors don't come to mine. Directors are all very cordial with each other, but they're not necessarily friendly.
There are times when directors just don't know what they're doing.
The director is the ultimate creative arbiter of what's going to happen. And as a director myself, you really appreciate collaborating with people who are trying to help you find what you need and what you want.
To be honest with you, a lot of directors can be very lazy.
Sometimes the odds are against you-the director doesn't know what the hell he's doing, or something falls apart in the production, or you're working with an actor who's just unbearable.
