Try To Produce Your Own Films, Avoid

As A Producer, I Think One Of The Most Important Decisions You Make Is Not Necessarily The Material You Are Working On But The Production Apparatus That You Choose To Develop The Project With, And That Determines What Funding You Go To, It Determines Many Factors.

I Mean, If You Are Directing Actors To Do One Thing And Then Directing Them To Do Something Else Entirely Because The One Thing You Wanted Them To Do May Not Work, Then You Are Just Shattering Their Confidence In The Project.

Every Actor Has A Different Temperament. Part Of My Job Is To Know What Those Boundaries Are. The Actor Has To Know You'll Be There At The Other End, That You're Trying To Represent Them In The Best Light, Who They Are As They're Harnessing These Roles. The Methods Vary From Actor To Actor.

Try To Produce Your Own Films, Avoid Directing For Hire.
