Jake, I believe a filmmaker is anyone who works in the business of making movies (that could be the director, DOP, the grip and the props master.) The film director is the one who translates the script visually (colors, production design, shots) and works with the actors to get a performance. Hope this helps. Peter

I think the director’s first job is listening. Then asking questions. Then shutting up! Many directors tend to over intellectualize everything when their answers should be simple and concise. Especially when working with actors.

Asking questions is where direction begins.

Darryl. We can basically say three things: Script – Story – Everything Else!

hi peter,
Your 3 rules are amazing. And the 3rd rule in particular, there are no rules, because you’ve said it time and again that the story or script evolves everytime you read through it.
Right?
