Here's a video I made a while back for my guest spot on ScriptChat to talk about my experiences on bringing your script to life.
You can compare what was on the written page to what actually made it to the screen (directing from my own script).
Hallway Obsession
The other day I was very flattered and intrigued when someone pointed out to me something about my films that I hadn’t even noticed. I’m talking particularly about the movies that I’ve personally done and not the “for-hire” gigs.
Without consciously thinking about it, all the films that I’ve written and directed feature a major character walking away from the camera down a long hallway — each time occurring during Act 1 of their story. I guess you do what you love (sometimes without even noticing it).
The cool thing is that now I have a tiny body of work to look back on and reflect on my growth. I can see the flaws, learning lessons and, in this case, patterns. I wonder why I’m obsessed with characters and hallways?
When looking back, what have you noticed about your films so far?
