Things I’ve Learned As A Moviemaker
Keep it simple.Encourage the actors after every take. Acting is like jumping without a parachuteits a scary thing to do. My acting coach made me try it once, so I know.
Dont worry about coloring inside the lines.
Get everyone on the set to do what they do best.
Drink plenty of watervery important while youre filming.
Feed your crew well. Thats important.
I have to have a crush on everyone that I work with. It helps.
A little bit of sexual energy on the set is really goodkeeps everybody going. A little sexual energy, not real sex, sexual energy; flirtation.
In dealing with the press, dont try to control things. Be yourself.
