Directing Is Creating A Whole. You're Able To Combine Different Elements And Create A Film That Is Unique And True To Your Vision.

I'm Fairly Competant As A Director And Actor, But I Am Mr. Neurotic As A Writer. I Just Don't Have Enough Confidence In My Abilities To Take Criticism Well. I Take It Personally. Start With 'it's A Masterpiece,' And Then Tell Me What You Think Could Be Changed.
