THE ACTOR INSIDE THE DIRECTOR
I spent years standing inside scenes before I began standing outside them.
That experience shapes everything about the way I direct.
I don’t ask an actor to “be sadder” or “make it more emotional.” I’m interested in what the character needs from the other person, what they are fighting to conceal, and what becomes possible when an actor stops demonstrating an emotion and begins living inside the circumstances.
I believe rigorous work and humane work belong in the same room.
Actors should be able to take genuine risks without fear of humiliation. When trust, preparation and curiosity meet, something happens that no director can completely plan.
That discovery is one of the reasons I love making films.
