Direct

What makes a good director? Vision, tenacity or a great pair of glasses? Directing is about more than technique, it’s knowing how to create an emotional connection. It’s not about the backlight or the latest post-produced technique, the up-to-the minute grade, it’s about an image that makes you think, feel and react. To be a director you have to listen to your audience: sit in a theatre as thousands laugh when Ewan McGregor trips over his leash and cry when the same audience doesn’t laugh at your best joke. Good direction is about creating a connection, great directing is the joy you feel when people react.
