“Look, a lot of directors were actors, even if they were unsuccessful actors which I think is helpful. I think it's a really helpful thing for a director to have experienced that.

“As a writer, you know what the purpose of the scene is. It really has nothing to do with the actor so you have to really get out of that space because for actors it's a micro-focus and then you figure out your arc through what the writers have given you to say. But that arc is just one little piece of the huge arc of the whole film. It took a while to get out of that.” KnowsLittlesWholeFilmPurposeActorsGivenSpaceFocusPiecesFiguresHugeSceneJust OneArcs Author:Grant Heslov
