Not to knock the people who’ve given me the opportunity; I appreciate all the opportunities I’ve gotten, but one of the things I think I really learned from the features I got to direct is that your job as a director is everything about the movie.

You’re really in charge, and the responsibility falls on you if all the components aren’t there for a worthwhile film. Help us to share this great article.
