“First and foremost, my hats off to our directors and camera department. That is something I will miss after Longmire. I can't imagine working on another show that looks like this. We'll get the whole crew out on location and have a hundred people standing around, waiting for about 40 minutes, so that sun is just a little bit further in the sky and the light is hitting the cloud, in the perfect way.” PeopleWayFirstsLooksLittlesI CanWholeShowsLightBitsWaitingPerfectSunImagineSkyMinutesMissingDirectorsLittle BitHundredStandingCamerasCloudsDepartmentHatsHittingLocationCrewHats Off Author:Bailey Chase
“I had been at the director's workshop for women at the AFI, which at the time was a great thing to do. I had always meant to direct, and for a variety of reasons that are hard to explain, I never did. I produced many things - there'll be people who tell you I directed through them - and of course I wrote. It took a divorce, a move back to New York and a kind of "now I can do anything" to say, "I really want to do this."” PeopleWantKindI CanHardReasonMovingCoursesCan DoNew YorkDirectorsDirectDivorceGreat ThingsVarietyThings To DoWorkshops Author:Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal

“I was working with actors who were very easy to work with, but I can just imagine how, with all the other decision-making problems that come up along the way, in addition to that, the whole point of what your doing is following performance and character development.

“Sometimes I'll go for something more because of the story, or more because of the director.

Otherwise I don't feel like I will be able to pull it off at all. I know I haven't done everything very well in the past; some things have worked and some things haven't.
