Most sports teams nowadays make wholesale changes all the time. Not just bad ones either, good teams. In NASCAR Joe Gibbs racing swapped around three crew chiefs between three drivers. The only teams that don't do stuff like that are the ones that year in and year out there are no major...

I am currently editing my third short film. I am trying to decide what genre it should be in. I originally had it as straight drama. But as I kept re writing I found myself adding more jokes in it to lighten up the mood because the story was so heavy to begin with. And after seeing the first...

Huh? Where did I ever say that I do that? On my last project almost every position was paid. I never said that I was at their level (yet). As for working with the same people over and over again, I think it's fun to mix it up. I like to go for different types of films each time out, you...

A lot of directors don't work with the same actors and actresses. Ben Affleck has worked with a new DP on each of the films that he has directed. Clint Eastwood, David Fincher, and Terry Gilliam very seldom work with the same actors. You know how it's an advantage to work with a new cast and...

Let's just put it this way: I feel pretty good that I got my vision across in the way it was shot, performed, how it's being edited, and certainly composed. I understand what it takes to make a good film. I understand what it takes to get your vision across. That's why I'm not worried about...

Sweetie: When it's good and ready. Sfoster: It's true, there is so much talent in L.A that you have the gift of choice. Pertaining to the creative vision of my stories yes I can answer any question as any good director should be able to. What you said means nothing to me. I had a great DP...

LOL. What I said is a simple tool of life. You can't be weak as a director. I'm not a jerk or a dumbass. I am all about the work.

Anyone opinions on how great of a boss I am is pretty irrelevant. All that matters is if the shoot was effective and if the final product works. Depending on the material, schedule and people you may have to make it tough. Is it a drama with super tense moments? Is the DP getting on your...

I am actually a great boss. I am very collaborative, I will listen to ideas, work with people and I don't micro manage. If there is a question I am more than capable of answering it. I joke around on set and try to give everyone freedom. But my hand is in everything. Think of me as a cop...

If you put pressure on your cast and crew that will do the trick.

megatdanial: The only reason I can get away with it is because while I love filmmaking, I am an actor first. That's what I started out doing. I didn't direct until last October. So because of that the acting part isn't so tough compared to all the demands of a director and learning at the...

I am a firm believer in act first, apologize later. I have a sports mentality with film. You have to be proactive withe everything. And that leaves zero room for ego. Hurt feelings go away. This is how I act when I direct (when I am just acting I do whatever I can do to best serve the...

I finished my third short film a few weeks ago. I've been trying to write the screenplay that I intend on directing and starring in next summer. I have written screenplays before. But this is huge as this will be something that I know will be a huge labor of love. After going through a few...

Oh that is for sure. There are a few things I know I must do before my first feature Have actors that are dependable Have a DP that is at least five years older than me. Since I will be acting in my films as well I need someone who is more into the mentor thing. My DP on my second short...

Yeah, I don't see what the big deal is. Being a director on a small budget film is stressful as hell. You complaining about it doesn't make you look good. But she probably doesn't even care LOL.

A little about about: I am a 22 year old actor/writer/director. Originally from Maryland, I started acting in 2011 when I was able to be a union solider in Lincoln. After that I acted in some indie films, and got to be on an episode of Veep. All the while I trained in theater. I had always...
