“I did a good bit of episodic television directing, but directing a movie is so much more complicated. And there's so much more responsibility because the medium is very much a director's medium. Television is much more of a producer's writer's medium so a lot of the time when you're directing a television show they have a color palette on set or a visual style and dynamic that's already been predetermined and you just kind of have to follow the rules.” KindShowsBitsResponsibilityStyleTelevisionColorDirectorsComplicatedMediumsProducersVisualsTelevision ShowsPalettePredetermined Author:Jason Bateman

“I don't ever like to feel myself in the position to demand of an actor that they trust I'm going to do something worthwhile. I feel a responsibility to articulate what it is I'm going to do.

It's a very healthy burden on me as a film director to be able to articulate what I want to do, to inspire actors, rather than just saying, take it on trust I'll be able to do something worthwhile.” WantFeelsIdeasAbleFilmActorsResponsibilityPositionInspireHealthyDirectorsDemandSittingScriptsDetailsBurdenWorthwhileDescribingSitting DownJust SayingFilm Directors Author:Christopher Nolan
