As the director of this film, it is hard sometimes to accept the reality of things. I must understand that sometimes things may not go my way. Sometimes you just have to stick to your actual boundaries. No matter how amazing somethings sound, you just have to listen.

 You know when you go to the movies and you see a great film, it wasn’t just like that. There is a long process to make a film. There is one person that has the most responsibility in making a film and that is the director. He plays an important role because he is not just telling people what to do and make sure that they’re doing their job. The director has to set up the film and while shooting it, he has to get the film to be perfect. The director also has to find the actors, do a shot list, and also find a location to shoot at. So my claim is that directors don’t just tell people what to do and where to put stuff. Directors are in every stage of the process of making a film. Directors secure clients, set up the shoot, make the shot lists for the camera guys, assist with post-production and help with the edit of the film all while they are on the set directing. Coordinating all of these steps is difficult and very hectic. This is why directors should hold a unique set of skills. When I asked my mentor Justin about the skills that they should possibly hold he said, “Exceptional artistic vision”. He also said, “Directors have to be able to see every angle of what is being shot. The most important quality is having the ability to motivate people and inspire others.” I have first-hand experience assisting with commercial production.
