As a filmmaker and film student, I think it's really interesting to hear what a director did and how they figured out how to do things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Honestly, I think most directors are about, 'Let's do the most fun and effective thing here and figure out how afterwards.'
As a director, I've been able to combine with what I've learned as an actor and as a producer: it melds quite nicely into what I feel like I should have been doing all along.
Really top-notch directors, I've often worked with them just to see how they work.
I think one of the major things a director has to do is to know his subject matter, the subject matter of his script, know the truth and the reality of it. That's very important.
As a director, I really wanted to learn and I needed to get away from my own stuff to figure out how to just do things and work with good people.
As a filmmaker, the only way that I understand how to make a film is holistically.
I've worked with some of the great cinematographers. So I'm always watching what they do and I'm watching how the director composes his shots, just because I find it interesting as an actor; you're trying to help them out as well.
I'm working on a few different films and I'm just searching for the right new story to tell. As a director, you just have to kind of like just get through the first project before starting on the next one.
I learn a lot as a director from acting in other people's films and just in general.
I just knew how to do the one thing I did, and whether I did it well or not depended on who the director was.
