Directing

What do you think makes a director great? What qualities should he/she/they have?

Fran Harris

1) Ability to balance respecting and trusting talent - and the skill of bringing out the best in talent. 2) Ability to see multiple ways to tell a story, frame a shot for maximum storytelling. 3) Open to varying opinions with enough confidence to know which direction is best for the film.

Emily J

Clear vision, communication, and calm - it's such an interesting form of leadership, because you're 'in charge' but it's not the same as running a business and every knows the goal is to achieve your vision/story, which isn't necessarily as tangible as other business goals, you know? Definitely a big challenge finding that balance
